Put it in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until done.

no real ideas?

god Tilapia ):

you couldn't find a better fish?

Trash fish.

The same way you cook any other fish: fry, broil, bake, steam, grill, whatever...

it tastes like mud, just throw it away.

microwave and serve with ketchup

>How do I cooked tilapia?
Fix'd.

Cover 'em in ridiculously seasoned bread crumbs and bake them.
Or add them to a ridiculuosly seasoned curry.

Can you tell I'm not a big fan of the fish? It's all right, but it's low in nutritional value and taste d'apres moi.

here is how my husband likes me to cook it:
i throw some minced garlic in a pan with some butter, and some lemon juice and let it sizzle a bit, spread it over the pan and drop my fillet on top of the garlic. i season the fish with creole seasoning, cook both sides about 2-3 mins or until done.

its also fine if you want to broil it in a foil packet with veggies.

If you really need cheap fish, go for pollock, not tilapia. Pollok is delicious.

Hey, you guise. I *like* tilapia.

And I'd say fry it. Make sure the pan is well greased, drop the fish in the pan, and *don't touch it* until one side's cooked, otherwise it'll fall apart. And take care in flipping it over, because, again, it'll fall apart easily. Shouldn't take much more than four minutes per side- you can tell it's done when it's completely opaque in the center, or has an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

As far as seasoning goes, you can use anything- tilapia doesn't have much flavor... generally, anything that works for chicken will also work for tilapia.

I'd recommend getting a good balsamic vinegar, heating a cup or so to a low simmer, then gradually whisking in maybe half a stick of butter, and sauce the fish with that. Goes well with mashed potatoes, red potatoes, rice pilaf, etc.

great bbq food like this. got some of those faggy people showing up that don't like red meat? well get some tilapia, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, onions, and maybe even some baby corn if you feelin froggy. put some soy sauce on that bitch and wrap it in tin foil.

throw 'er on the barbie and like 5 minutes later you got yourselves a deal

prove it

Steamed or grilled and added to tom kha or pad phet instead of chicken. Maybe taco pescado if you bread and fry them up a bit more. It's buffer seafood. Hardly worth the effort to prepare except to add $4 to the plate price. Neutral flavor doesn't mean good.

while i see your point, unless you have a pre-existing health problem like heart disease, this really doesnt make a difference. beef also has high levels of omega 6 and low omega 3, and it is consumed en masse in america.
unless you have been told by your dr to eat more seafood for omega 3's, or you are eating tilapia several times a week, i dont really see this as being actually detrimental to anyones health.

eat better fish

tilapia eats scum and shit, that is why a lot of tilapia flesh tastes like mud.

diffrence is many people with heart disease are told simply eating fish will benfit them. Tilapia being cheap in great supply and decent tasting many will flock to it not realizing they are not helping.

That said I love it. Sprinkle with old bay pan sear squeeze of lemon and enjoy. Walmart was selling these boxes of individual warped and frozen fillets I spent a summer eating.
