The Red Tilapia is a lean, mild flavoured fish that is easily cleaned and cooked. Just like the regular Tilapia, it is also highly absorbent of the spices that are added while cooking. Hence, be advised to restrict the usage of sauce and spice.   It is highly recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women and children over 2 years because of its low mercury content. Sodium, calories and total fat are also found to be lower in this fish. The fatty acid, omega-3 has an immense contribution to the vision, joint strength and heart health.
