Tag: Red tilapia

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, Nile tilapia represents over 70% of global tilapia culture, making it the most common variety available. However, when it comes to flavor and texture, the question remains: which is the best tilapia to eat for a superior culinary experience?

While concerns have been raised about some tilapia farming practices, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists tilapia as a 'Best Choice' fish, noting its low mercury and contaminant content. Red tilapia, a hybrid variant of the popular fish, is a nutritious option when sourced responsibly and cooked properly.
