tilapia fillet
Boneless fish cut
A tilapia fillet is a boneless cut of tilapia, a mild-flavored freshwater fish widely farmed and sold frozen.
The flesh is white, lean, and inexpensive, making it popular for weeknight dinners: I picked up some tilapia fillets for tonight.
The neutral taste takes well to various seasonings but has little character on its own.
