Frozen tilapia fillets substitute perfectly for fresh fillets in any recipe.
Frozen fish fillets are a blessing for home cooks. They are less expensive than buying fresh fish and they make good quality seafood accessible anywhere. Always observe food safety when thawing fish by letting it defrost in the refrigerator and keeping it cool until you are ready to use it. Rinse the fillets after thawing them to get the best flavor. Thawed tilapia can be cooked just like fresh tilapia. Use your favorite recipe and revel in the convenience of delicious frozen tilapia. Add this to my Recipe Box.
