Centre Cut

Centre-cut fillet of Tilapia is the thick uniform middle—best for matched pan times. Avoids thin tail and belly taper. As a centre cut section of fillet, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tilapia centre cut iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque . Baking, frying, steaming, and stewing suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame soft fine white flake.
