Tilapia with Grape Chutney

exquisita receta de tilapia, sigan presentandolas gracias

Tilapia are held in tanks or aquaria where ponds receiving human waste yum!

Farm-raised tilapia, one of the most highly consumed fish in America, has very low levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and, perhaps worse, very high levels of omega-6 fatty acids. The combination could be potentially dangerous for some patients with heart disease, arthritis, asthma and other allergic and auto-immune diseases that are particularly vulnerable to an “exaggerated inflammatory response.”

Tilapia are native to Africa and most of those imported to the U.S. are now farmed mostly in Central and South America. I've never heard of tilapia from China. And they are not scavenger fish as noted by Sharon. Some people will post anything.....

Tilapia (there are hundreds of fish in Tilapia family) consume floating aquatic plants, thus helping purify the water by consuming vegetation and plants and greatly reducing purification costs. It can survive in less than perfect water because it cleans it. And the fish is completely clean and is considered one of the most expensive ones. This doesn't mean it's a scavenger. Lobsters and crabs are however, which doesn't makle them any cheaper or less tasty.

Just make darn sure that IF you purchased frozen Tilapia that you read the "Country of origin" on the back side of the package. A LOT of Tilapia is flash frozen in China and sent down through the food chain to be packaged elsewhere...luckily, the packaging must show country of origin. Do YOU want to ingest ANYTHING grown in China where safety standards, etc., are simply not a priority for thier masses, let alone you?! There are numerous recent examples of Chinese food scares, not to mention the pet food fiasco of a few years ago! Buy and shop American as your priority to a healthier outcome.
