What Tilpaia Should I Buy?

Once considered a lowly, muddy-tasting fish grown in underdeveloped countries, tilapia are now farmed in dozens of countries (in ponds and tanks) and subjected to rigid quality-control standards. The result is a fish that combines a mild, delicate flavor with a hint of exotic appeal.

When buying tilapia at the store look for a Best Aquaculture Practice (BAP) certification. This assures that the tilapia comes from facilities that have been closely and continuously audited for food safety, sustainability and social responsibility.
