Is tilapia an unhealthy fish?
Not at all! Like I tell my boys, everything in moderation is key. Tilapia is low in fat and calories and high in protein and is a great way to give yourself a healthy meal to fuel your energy and body for the day.
How do you store leftover fish?
It’s really important that you store leftover fish in an airtight container and keep it stored in the fridge. The fish will release an order – so the lid is a must!
To reheat leftovers, you can warm them up slowly in the oven or use the microwave for a quick burst of heat.
How do I know if fish is overcooked?
If fish has a rubbery texture, you know that it’s been cooked too long. Properly cooked fish should be tender and flaky, not tough.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Tilapia is mild and quick-cooking, but safe thawing and temperature checks are important for reliable results.
Cook fish to an internal temperature of 145°F, or until the flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork. Check the thickest portion.
Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or use the microwave’s defrost setting immediately before cooking. Do not thaw fish on the counter.
Avoid overcooking, use a timer, and check the thickest part early. Marinades, sauces, or a light coating can also help retain moisture.
