Gutted Scaled Tilapia 500 - 800gm

Description

Gutted Scaled Tilapia 500-800gm comes already gutted and scaled in this mid-range size bracket — ready to season and cook once thawed, with no prep beyond rinsing. A practical everyday size, sitting between our smaller and larger tilapia brackets.

How to prepare

• Thaw in the fridge, score the skin, season with ginger, garlic and pepper.
• Grill or fry whole until the flesh flakes easily, or add to a simmering pepper soup pot.
• Cook thoroughly until the flesh flakes and reaches 63°C internal.

Storage

• Keep frozen at -18°C until ready to use. Defrost in the fridge overnight — do not refreeze once thawed. Use within 24 hours of defrosting.
