Offer only tiny pieces of fully cooked unseasoned tilapia without skin or bones. Avoid raw fish, fried coatings, and spice rubs. Refrigerate leftovers promptly.
Tilapia is a mild white fish farmed worldwide, sold fresh, frozen, or as individually wrapped fillets. Provides lean protein, niacin, selenium, and vitamin B12.
Human servings are often breaded, blackened, or cooked with butter, garlic, and salty marinades. Fish tacos and fried sandwiches add batter, sauces, and high-sodium toppings.
Frozen glazed fillets may include sodium in the glaze. Leftover fish from tacos or casseroles may contain onions, cheese, or sauces. Separate plain portions before adding toppings.
