While being a very meaty fish, tilapia is also very versatile and when filleted can be quite light. Tilapia can handle a strong marinade but also succumbs very nicely to this more delicate version.

Tilapia is a versatile ingredient. It complements many different flavours, and the firmness of its flesh makes it excellent for pan-frying, grilling, or deep-frying in a crisp beer batter.
