Tilapia

Also called: Tilaabiya (Soomaali) · بلطي (تيلابيا) (العربية)

What to look for

Fresh fillets are moist, firm and white to pinkish, with a clean, mild smell and no browning at the edges. For whole fish, look for clear, bright eyes. Frozen fillets are widely sold too; skip packs with lots of frost or dry white patches.
