People were very familiar with “tilapia” and everywhere they would love to eat it in a way they prefer. It can be fried (which is very common), sinigang style, grilled, relyeno and can be served with white sauce. Yes, tilapia can be very special and cooked using white sauce. Personally, it is one of my favorite fish due to its white meat and a semi like jacket skin.
Technically it was called yellow leather jacket for the similarity of its skin, gills and covering is like leather. Kids usually do not eat fish, why? Well because they are a little bit scared of it. How can you eat a food that you can see its eyes, mouth and other body parts? When I was a kid I fear fish because I felt that it was still alive and looking at me. So we have to make a fish recipe that can make kids enjoy, and love fish and to make the eating worthwhile, it can be done with sauce so that it can have another innovative taste.
