Where did talapia come from all of a sudden and why?
None of my cook books even mention talapia. My hunch is that since there are a lot of staple fishes that have been over-fished, this one was selected to fill some gaps. What was it before? A junk fish they used to make fertilizer with? As late as the late 1980s and early 1990s, cook books don't even acknowledge it.
Tilapia, a fish that is relatively new to American consumers, has ridden the wave of popularity to become one of America's top ten seafoods. Tilapia has a sweet, mild flavor and a firm, flaky texture is now the sixth most popular seafood consumed in the United States after such varieties as shrimp, salmon and canned tuna (according to the American Tilapia Association).
Introduced to the American mainland in 1959, tilapia actually boasts a venerable history:
Sometimes referred to as sunshine snapper, cherry snapper, Nile Snapper and St. Peter's fish (since it is thought to be the fish St. Peter caught in the Sea of Galilee), tilapia has been farmed in Israel for about 2,500 years.
Tilapia is a Freshwater Fish that can be cultured in the southern regions of the United States and other tropical areas such as Hawaii.
Fresh tilapia also is imported from Columbia and Costa Rica.
Tilapia are sold live, fresh and frozen — whole and fillets.
The fine-tasting meat typically is white, although the meat of red skinned tilapia may have a reddish tint.
A most agreeable fish, tilapia is great on the grill, broiled, baked, pan-fried or stir fried.
On its own, a 3.5 ounce serving of tilapia has only 98 calories and provides 18.5 g of protein, with no saturated fat, no cholesterol and 52 mg of sodium.
In addition to its versatility, pleasant flavor and low calorie count, the retail price of tilapia remains reasonable in comparison to other seafood, thanks to the efficiencies of modern aquaculture.
Tilapia also is known for taking on many of the flavors of the ingredients it’s cooked with. For example, cooking in a stir-fry with soy sauce and veggies gives it an Asian flair. Many cooks even combine it with "fruity" flavors such as cherries or lemons.
