Red Tilapia 500–700g/Kg HBF Product Overview HBF Red Tilapia 500–700g/Kg is a convenient frozen whole red tilapia, offering a mild flavour, tender white flesh and versatile cooking options. Red tilapia is a popular freshwater fish used extensively in African, Asian, Caribbean and international cuisine. The 500–700g size specification means that each individual fish generally falls within the 500 to 700 gram weight range. This is a practical size for household meals and is also suitable for restaurants, catering and food-service preparation. Red tilapia has a mild, delicate flavour and tender flesh, allowing it to absorb marinades, herbs, spices and sauces easily. It can be prepared using a variety of cooking methods, including frying, grilling, baking, steaming and stewing. Whole red tilapia is particularly popular in African cuisine, where it can be seasoned with ingredients such as garlic, ginger, onion, chilli, herbs and spices before being fried or grilled. It can then be served with rice, plantain, vegetables, cassava-based foods or traditional pepper sauces. The frozen format provides convenient longer-term storage compared with fresh fish and allows the product to be kept available for cooking whenever required. The 500–700g size provides a substantial individual fish while remaining convenient to prepare. The fish can be cooked whole or prepared according to the requirements of a particular recipe.

Ingredients Ingredient: Red Tilapia For plain frozen red tilapia, the fish itself is the principal ingredient. Some frozen tilapia products are glazed with water to protect the fish during frozen storage, so the exact ingredient declaration should follow the HBF packaging if glazing is present. Allergen Information Contains: Fish. Tilapia is a fish and therefore falls under the fish allergen category recognised by European food allergen regulations. Customers with a fish allergy should not consume this product. Some frozen tilapia products may also carry a warning that they may contain traces of crustaceans or molluscs, depending on the processing environment. This should only be stated for the HBF product if it appears on its packaging. Nutritional Information Red tilapia is naturally a protein-rich fish and generally contains very little carbohydrate. Its nutritional composition can vary according to the fish, farming conditions and processing method. A verified nutritional panel for the specific HBF Red Tilapia 500–700g/Kg could not be found online. Therefore, exact HBF nutritional values should not be estimated and presented as official product information. For the website, the nutrition table printed on the HBF packaging should be used if available. Usage Instructions HBF Red Tilapia can be prepared using several cooking methods. Preparation If the fish is frozen: Remove the required fish from its packaging. Thaw thoroughly in the refrigerator before cooking. Pat the fish dry.

Pat dry and make a few shallow cuts across each side. Season with salt, spices, garlic, ginger, chilli or your preferred marinade. Heat cooking oil in a suitable frying pan. Carefully place the fish into the hot oil. Fry until the exterior is golden and the flesh is completely cooked. Drain excess oil before serving. Grilling Red tilapia can also be grilled whole. Make shallow cuts into both sides of the fish. Season or marinate thoroughly. Place on a preheated grill. Cook evenly on both sides until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily. Serve immediately with your preferred accompaniments. Baking Place the seasoned fish in an oven-safe dish and bake with vegetables, herbs, onions, tomatoes or spices until fully cooked.
