I cook tilapia all the time. It is a very mild fish and you may be right labeling it the Tofu of the Sea! LOL!
My favorite preparation is fish tacos. I pan fry it with only a spritz of oil and add a bit of salt, pepper and paprika. It is served is a flour tortilla with homemade pico de gallo. Easy to make, high protein, low fat and yummy!
