Guide to Buying and Cooking Tilapia

Tilapia is native to the Nile River in Africa and it’s often called St. Peter’s fish because it has been eaten since biblical times. Today an estimated 1 billion pounds are produced annually, making it the most common farm-raised fish in the world.
Colors vary between black, red or gold. The most common species in the United States are the prolific Nile tilapia, the hearty blue tilapia and the red-colored Mozambique tilapia. Because it is farmed and distributed efficiently, and harvested year-round, tilapia is sometimes the freshest fish at the market. Many Asian food markets even sell them live. Tilapia’s wide availability and moderate price make it a consumer favorite.
Cooked tilapia flesh is white, tender and somewhat firm with a flaky texture. Taste is largely determined by the growing environment — water quality and feed — but good-quality tilapia tastes mild and sweet.
Most tilapia is sold when the fish weighs about 1 1/2 pounds. If it’s filleted, a thin layer of darker meat below the skin is often removed. But it is best to buy tilapia whole. Fillets are usually frozen, depleting the delicate texture and taste.
Tilapia can be baked, broiled, sautéed, pan-fried or steamed. The bitter-tasting skin should be removed, either before cooking or before serving.

Traditionally green tea was used by the Chinese to treat headaches, body aches, and poor digestion. But with modern science we now know that its health benefits are much more widespread than originally thought.

In fact, green tea is a great weight loss tool, just as the diet suggests. The hot drink speeds up the body’s metabolism making it easier to shed unwanted pounds. And it has many powerful anti-oxidants that actually help to burn fat as well.


EGCG, a powerful antioxidant found in large quantities in green tea as well as other plant foods, is proven to protect DNA from damage that could allow cancer to develop, and also protects blood vessels from damage that could result in blockages.

Further benefits of green tea include reduction in cholesterol, hypertension, liver damage and even improved skin and hair appearance.
