What is Tilapia?
Tilapia is a type of freshwater fish that is widely consumed due to its mild taste and versatility in cooking. It is often farmed in various regions globally and is available in many forms, such as fresh, frozen, or filleted. Tilapia is known for being a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, though it has a lower omega-3 content compared to other fish like salmon.
