Eating Tilapia can help to improve health and is often marketed as a healthier choice to other types of fish. As with all fish, Tilapia is low in fat and contains high levels of protein. Tilapia also contains all of the essential amino acids, and is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, important for healthy heart and blood vessels.
Izumidai is a popular choice in Asian cuisine. It can be prepared in many ways steamed, battered or raw used for sushi. Its delicious mild flavor and reasonable price makes it a great alternative to red snapper and other white fish used for Shiromi. Treat your family and friends to some fresh homemade sushi, paired with a glass of a light-bodied white wine such as Riesling.
