    My favorite is to bake, broil or somehow cook the fish filet. The magic happens when you dump some mango salsa and chunks of avocado on top of the cooked fish. Oh I could eat it all day long! (Works well on chicken breasts too.)

    Ok, Help me out here, What is Bump and Old Bay seasoning. I agree with Tilapia. I do not care for fish to much but am willing to try new things.I just have a picky family so can not try to many odd things.

    I like tilapia in fish tacos. My kid LOVES tilapia made with the Kraft Fresh Takes chili lime coating mix, it is about the only fish she will eat.

    I broil it in a pan with a teeny bit of butter and parsley, maybe some garlic powder. What I put it over depends -- usually a fresh veggie medley, or pasta if I'm in need of carbs.

    "bump" just adds the post to the user's recent threads list so they can come back and review later.

    and Tilapia holds up really well on the grill!!! I squeeze some lime juice, garlic and salt/pepper and then make tacos or throw it on a salad or something.

    It's very mild - not too fishy at all.

    my favorite way to cook tilapia is to defrost it then back it at 400 for about a half hour. Some people use olive oil, i usually just season it with a lemon herb seasoning mix

    I've started rubbing taco seasoning (from the packet) on my frozen white fish and it gives the fish an amazing, flavorful taste :) Sometimes I chunk it up after I cook it and put coleslaw mixture on top with a chipote dressing (thinned down with some lime) and put it on a whole grain, low carb tortilla - fish tacos!!!!

    I scramble it up with eggs, cheese and veggies on an embarrassingly regular basis.

    I bake my tilapia fillets in tin foil with some salt and pepper and slices of lemon on top. I usually eat it with rice and veggies, but my favorite meal with tilapia is baked tilapia with rice, bok choy and oyster sauce. I cook all thing seperately, pan frying the bok choy in a tiny bit of canola oil and then pouring in a tablespoon of oyster sauce. I pour that over the fish and rice in a bowl. So amazing! And pretty low in calories!

    You can also use a mixture of fresh herbs to make a coating. Here is how I make mine:
    Thaw out fish, then rinse them off with tap water, place on papertowels and pat dry, Then you can make your own bread crumbs, dip in flour shake off the extra, dip in egg ,then put the bread crumbs and fresh herbs together..... place in the bread crumbs and pan fry. I use canola oil spray no calories.

    Fresh Dill, thyme and salt and pepper.

    Hope you will try this and like it.
