Steak

Steak of Tilapia is a cross-cut through the body, often bone-in, thick enough for the grill. Dense flesh holds together better than soft thin fillets. Brown the exterior as the centre just turns opaque. Keep tilapia steak 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.

History

Coastal cooks portioned tilapia into steak pieces for even cooking and trade.

Filleting lines and frozen packs made steak of tilapia available inland.
