What the heck is Tilapia? I have seen it advertised quite a lot lately. I gather it is some type of seafood. But I never heard of it before. Do I just live too far from the world of fine dining, or is it something new?
Tilapia is a firm-fleshed, mild tasting fish. I would not suggest buying it from Wal-Mart, as there tilapia tends to have a funky taste to it. Sam's Club, or most supermarkets have quality tilapia. I like it very much, and I would suggest you give it a try and decide for yourself. I like to sprinkle it with Old Bay Seasoning, let it 'marinate' overnight, then fry it in a little olive oil.
