Frequently Asked Questions
What does Tilapia fish taste like?
Tilapia is widely considered one of the mildest-tasting fish available. It has a very clean, slightly sweet flavor profile and completely lacks the strong, "fishy" or muddy odor associated with many river fish. Because of this mildness, it is highly popular among children and people who do not typically enjoy strong seafood.
Because this is a larger size, does it take longer to thaw?
Yes, a 700-800g whole fish is quite thick and requires a bit more patience to defrost properly without ruining the flesh. The most effective method is to transfer the frozen fish from the freezer to the refrigerator and allow it to thaw slowly overnight. If you are short on time, submerge the completely sealed, unopened bag in a large bowl of cold tap water for about 1 to 1.5 hours until it is fully defrosted. Never use a microwave.
Do I need to descale and clean the fish before cooking?
While our frozen whole Tilapia is generally pre-cleaned and gutted for your convenience, it is always best practice in homestyle cooking to thoroughly rinse the fish under cold water once thawed. You may want to gently scrape the skin with a knife to ensure every single scale has been removed before applying your marinades.
What is the most traditional way to serve this whole?
One of the most spectacular ways to enjoy a fish of this size is to deep-fry it whole. Because of the thicker 700-800g size, ensure you score the sides of the fish with deep, diagonal cuts down to the bone so the marinade penetrates the flesh and the hot oil cooks it evenly. Rub it generously with a paste made of turmeric, red chili powder, garlic, ginger, and lemon juice. Fry it in hot oil until the skin is blistered and incredibly crispy. Serve it hot alongside steamed white rice and fresh lime wedges.
