How to choose fresh and delicious tilapia
- Fresh and good tilapia usually has clear and slightly bulging eyes. The gills are reddish-pink, the scales are shiny, and they are tightly layered like tiles.
- The fish body is intact without wounds, and the scales cling tightly to the body. Choose fish that are plump, round, large, and smooth, with a firm body, and the head and body are proportional to each other.
- The flesh of the fish is firm; when pressed, it will bounce back, and the skin does not have any strange colors.
- If you see any unusual signs such as swelling, weak swimming, or pale color, do not choose to buy them.
