Tilapia Facts
Bright gold, red, green or white, tilapia is
also called sunfish and sometimes St. Peter’s
fish, as it’s thought to be the legendary fish
that multiplied to feed the masses in biblical
times. Why is it a favorite fresh fish in the
South? According to Jeff Lyons, Costco’s
seafood expert, there are several reasons:
DThe white flesh has a sweet and delicate
flavor and is slightly firm to the bite.
DIt is a lean, versatile fish that can be
baked, broiled, sautéed or steamed.
DIt is excellent in many Cuban, Caribbean
and Hispanic dishes.
DThe farm-raised fillets are boneless and
skinless and are always available.
