Tilapia is a low-calorie, virtually fat-free fish. It contains a lot of minerals and nutrients, and the proteins contained in fish meat are easily digestible. Tilapia is recommended for adults and children; this fish is especially useful for pregnant women and people with heavy physical activity.
Tilapia has very tender meat; it does not have the characteristic taste and smell characteristic of river inhabitants, for which it is valued by culinary specialists. There are practically no small bones in the fish, which allows it to be cooked in a variety of ways. This collection contains the simplest recipes for cooking in a frying pan.
