Tail Cut

Tail-cut of Tilapia is smaller and faster-cooking. Fold thin ends under for even heat in sauced dishes. As a tail cut section of steak, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tilapia tail 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.
