“Tilapia” is what hundreds of species of similar cichlid “tiliipaine cicchlid tribe” fish that swim in fresh, tropical waters. For years, they’ve been a major part of fishing in Africa and Levant; in recent times, their popularity has increased thanks to their nutritional value.

For starters, Tilapia have a very low mercury content.
