Dorsal

Dorsal fillet of Tilapia is the upper back strip—lean and firm. Preferred for neat slices and raw service on suitable species. As a dorsal section of fillet, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tilapia dorsal 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.
