Tilapia Recipe

[mutessi78]

Looks good, i will try this for sure. Love your smile too. Thanks

[ChefTips]

@mutessi78 Thank you!

[NotSoLiberal]

Wow that looks good!

[ChefTips]

@NotSoLiberal Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.

[diamondice56]

tilapia is low-class farm raised fish. not a cynic here, just a waiter at a seafood restaurant. i encourage people to try other things than tilapia, and everytime they do they are very happy. if the fish is too "fishy" it is bad, not in general just that piece. isn't it strange that tilapia is never fishy?

[shadowrao1]

Worcestershire sauce is not available where i live, what can i use as a substitute?

[ChefTips]

@shadowrao1 It has a pretty unique flavor. I would just leave it out.

[shadowrao1]

@ChefTips but wouldnt that effect the awesomeness of the flavor? (tryin to impress a girl man...help a brother out =P )

[ChefTips]

@shadowrao1 You could try soy sauce, but they are still two different things. Hope this helps...

[Gatling93]

Magnifique

[ChefTips]

@Gatling93 Merci!

[bobyhock]

I tried this tonight. I didn't have corn meal so I used "honey cornbread" mix instead. Also didn't have the pepper. It came out great!!! Very tasty. Thanks again.

[ChefTips]

@bobyhock You're welcome! Thanks for the comment!

[dtp8806]

[Viktir666]

Brazilian tilapia eat their own feces in captivity, I would only eat USA's tilapia. I LOVE tilapia by the way.

[ChefTips]

@Viktir666 Gross. I recommend going by the Seafood Watch list. :)

[Viktir666]

@ChefTips LOL. I watched a show and they were showing how Brazilian tilapia are kept in captivity and they're kind of nasty. I'm a fan of swordfish but I heard they're loaded in mercury nowadays.

[Ahwen90a]

[SumNJFella]

I eat this twice a week - I bread it & bake it - squeeze some lime on it & serve it up with homemade baked potato chips & spinach. I actually like the taste of this fish over flounder & salmon, go figure, nice video!

[ChefTips]

[Waqsjoaquin]

"TILL LAP E YUH"

[nesthutju]

[seanw23]

[ChefTips]

@armaggedon117 Hope you enjoy it!

[brambau]

place the following title in quotes in a google search:

"Popular Fish, Tilapia, Contains Potentially Dangerous Fatty Acid Combination"

Tilapia has higher levels of potentially detrimental long-chain omega-6 fatty acids than 80-percent-lean hamburger, doughnuts and even pork bacon, the inflammatory potential of hamburger and pork bacon is lower than the average serving of farmed tilapia.

[mai567]

you're totally ruining my diet! everything looks so tasty i have to try one of your recipes :) thank you for sharing! :)

[ChefTips]

@mai567 Thanks! Hope you enjoy it! Cheers, Jason

[DASW7]

@netriver123 Good for you. Keep it up, kid.

[MyTube22T]

Great recipe Jason. Does toasting the corn meal make a significant difference in the flavor? Thanks.

[ChefTips]

@MyTube22T Yes, it does give it a much nicer, toasty flavor. :)

[mc4102]

tilapia is a freshwater fish.... not really seafood.... not in my dictionary....

[StellaElectra]

eat catfish....home grown usa :-P

[gaellehi]

tilapia is the most eaten fish in Rwanda, but we usally cook it in the oven or on barbecue it's sooo good. Thanks for this new recipe Chef ;)

[ChefTips]

@gaellehi You are so welcome. Enjoy! Cheers, Jason

[ermonski]

Tilapia is a fish commonly seen and eaten here in the Philippines.

really really delicious fish!

[ChefTips]

@ermonski

Thanks for sharing that information.

I agree, it is really really delicious.

[masterplomo1]

@ermonski also its commonly in México

[FingerSnap5]

When i cook tilapia i know it's done when it falls apart and is soft, not hard. And I've been cooking this stuff for years now, not to test your skills but i know it's suppose to fall apart so easily.

[ChefTips]

@FingerSnap5

Hello. Sorry for the delay in my response.

If you sear it on high heat and cook it fast it usually will not fall apart.

[ladytraveler]

thank you so much for having these easy recipes on here.. I am cooking alot more now so I need this!

[ChefTips]

@ladytraveler Thanks! Glad you enjoy them! Jason

[ladytraveler]

@ChefTips Can you show us how to make good chicken salad and tuna salad?? Its so hot now and I need recipes for "cool" foods. :)

[ChefTips]

@ladytraveler Great suggestion! We'll add it to our viewer request list! Cheers, Jason

[Tarock309]

where might i ask would one get a pepper crusher like yours?

[ChefTips]

@Tarock309 Just search online for an electric pepper grinder. They come in handy!

[Tarock309]

where might i ask do you get that pepper "shaker"

[1bugriz1]

that;s our native fish

[saintkatanalegacy]

@1bugriz1 aye :D

[razattack1337]

I don't have any cornmeal, is flour or breadcrumbs a good substitute? or should I go get some cornmeal, thanks

[ChefTips]

@razattack1337 You can do it that way as well. Just will taste different.

[TakeSomeAdvice]

Tilapia has no cholesterol?

[Motiwah2]

Mmmm that looks so good, I'm about to try this recipe.

[rolanpb31]

very delicious video....

it would be so exciting too if we could be sure that the tilapia we eat is so fresh .... fresh from the pond.... check out my link and see wha I mean!

[Ineedabrew]

WoW! That looks tasty. Will try this tonight. Fantastic presentation Chef...

[ChefTips]

@Ineedabrew

[boracaychicxz]

i'm out of tomato paste? is hunt's ketchup possible? :-)

[ChefTips]

@boracaychicxz In a pinch, it should work.

[lalalaina4life]

your videos are really good. I was wondering if you do a video on must have pots and pans and how to take care of them so they last as long as possible. Thanks

[ChefTips]

@lalalaina4life

That is a great idea! Thanks for the compliment and suggestion.

Cheers,

Jason

[SWEETAVENTURA]

omg!!! it look yummy!!!  I'm gonna try it today!

[jayarcien]

its also great with "PAKSIW" style cooking, just have to simmer it with water, vinegar, chillies, onions and ginger and dash of sugar. popular dish in the philippines.

[histamine28]

Hi Jason excellent dish....looks yummy!!

I have a question....can we sautee tilapia without cornbread,I mean with just salt and pepper? I do Salmon fillets with just salt and pepper.Just checking with you before I try it tonight.Thanks again for this awesome recipe....I love FISH !!!

[ChefTips]

@histamine28

Hello, yes you can omit the cornmeal. I would lightly coat the filets with some olive oil and then hit them with some S&P. Place in a pre-heated pan with a bit more olive oil. Sautee' on both sides until done. Hope this helps.

[histamine28]

I tried this dish ( but with out cornmeal) as you suggested and turned out soooo good. You rock jason....lovely dish

Thankyou

[ChefTips]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Jason

[boracaychicxz]

@ChefTips i ran out of tomato paste.. is hunts ketchup ok as substitue? :-)

[UrmrslowguyROBLOX]

I think you could bake these instaid.

[ChefTips]

@UrmrslowguyROBLOX

You can easily bake this if you like.

[margaylavira]

Tilapia is St. Peter's Fish. . In the Philippines, Tilapia is very popular. Thre 3 kind, Native-small dark gray mostly in the creeks, brooks and ricflds.

[ChefTips]

@margaylavira

Great information. Thanks for sharing this margaylavira! ;-)

[SnN0304]

hi chef..OMG!! i can't believe that this fish was popular in america. Well its a popular fish in asian too yet it easy to find, usually people like this fish to be steam, but some of them like it to be fry. I never thought u will come out with this recipe, think i'm gonna try it :) good job!!

[ChefTips]

@SnN0304

Thank you for commenting. I appreciate the information.

Cheers!

Jason

[i0hate0this0place]

I like it how you smile lots in your vids, great showmanship as well as cooking skills!

[ChefTips]

Thanks!

[SmokeyGoodness]

It's a shame that you Tube will only allow me to award this video 5 stars, it deserves many more.

THAT LOOKS GOOD!!!!!!!

[ChefTips]

Thanks! What a compliment. I appreciate your kind feedback! Jason

[sanjon1998]

I have been eating talapia almost daily now (yes, I love it that much) and I am glad to see this recipe so I can try something different before I bore myself. I put mustard on it and then lemon pepper and place it in a 500 degree oven and it is wonderful. I got this recipe from Aateya here on youtube to. You guys ROCK!!!! Thanks for the recipes, keep them coming.

[ChefTips]

@sanjon1998

The Aateya recipe sounds awesome! Thanks for the comment.

Jason

[Marta7350]

Hi! Just want to thank you for a wonderful presentation. Your instructions & voice are very clear, which I appreciate a lot! I've never made a dish like this before & I'm very much looking forward to trying it.

[ChefTips]

Thank you! I really hope you enjoy the recipe. Cheers, Jason

[DeeHong]

Thanks for this receipe!

Looks delicious!

[ChefTips]

You're welcome. Thanks for commenting.

[gerald22macoolit]

yo chef, could you please tell about some brief information regarding your "tilapia"? cuz here in the philippines we have a tropical fish called tilapia and if im not mistaken, its native in here, so im pretty sure that the tilapia im talking about is not the one your cooking.. how was that?

[ChefTips]

Hello. I am not sure if this is the same tilapia that you have in the Philippines. Most tilapia in today's stores are aquacultured or farm raised. Tilapia is also known as St. Peter's fish, and in Hawaii it is known as Hawaiian sun fish.

[crash1206]

@gerald22macoolit

i've seen the tilapia in the Philippines and i tell yo its the same fish he's cookin..

btw chef, thanks for the recipe! my girl luv it!

[AClearDeepBlue]

I use tilapia in my ceviche recipe. It works out wonderfully and is very budget friendly!

[ChefTips]

Sounds wonderful! What do you put in your ceviche?

[AClearDeepBlue]

Diced tilapia Shrimp Bay scallops Capers Red bell pepper Red onion Cilantro Haas Avocado Fresh Lime juice Kosher salt I toss everything together in a glass bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for 24 hours. Then it's party time!

[ChefTips]

That sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Cheers, Jason

[lllHanzolll]

tilapia is my favorite fish :3

[jonathan0012345]

hey jason remember me,the 13- year- old?

this sound really simple,and my mom loves fish!! I'll ask if i could make this!

Note:I'm writing this comment at 3 in the morning,so....did you had a great sleep?

lol

[ChefTips]

Hello and thanks for the comment! Hope you and your mom enjoy this recipe!

[BabeegurlBlueEyezz]

hi ; i have a close friend that is a chef, and i work at a hospital and i help him cater ect... but, i have a few questions , that i would love to ask you as well as my friend CHEF - T. about how you got started on youtube ect... i know this sounds a little unorthodox. but, however we are both quite interested ...i can give you my e-mail address and the chefs at a later time. p.s. love the recipe it was great. thank you ;)

[ChefTips]

Hello. While in Culinary School, classmates used to tell me that I would be a good TV Chef. I never thought much of it. After watching numerous food shows on TV, I thought I could do that, and make videos that were shorter and to the point. I had ideas about making videos/DVDs but marketing them was my mental block. Thanks to youtube, my idea seems to be working. Tell CHEF T to go for it!

Cheers!

Jason

[lourdesaguda]

I have my own backyard tilapia pond . I'll be catching fish for that recipe . I love that recipe because it is simple to prepare and it's delicious . Thanks !

[ChefTips]

Thanks for commenting!

[surabhithakur07]

Thanks for sharing Chef, this goes into my recipe collection to be tried soon. I was browsing after a long time & was glad to see new uploads from your end, please keep them coming, we admire your work!

[ChefTips]

Thanks so much! We are busy working on several more videos with no plans to quit, so I hope we can share many more favorite recipes from our kitchen. Take care, Jason

[4d12i4IV]

can you also bake the fish in this recipe?

[ChefTips]

Sure! Try them for 20 minutes in the oven at 425 to 450. When the fish flakes easily, it is ready. Enjoy!

[aragorn123sg]

Haha worcestershire sauce, most of us can't pronounce it here in Singapore. We just say 'A dash of LP sauce,'

[azurretown]

alot of the talapia you find that is cheap is from china, I can only immagine but why is if recommended to eat it only from the US... and why do some of the packages say it has carbon monoxide.

[ChefTips]

The state of seafood in our world is scary, especially if you read up on the Seafood Watch list from Monterey Bay Aquarium. Much of the tilapia grown in other countries are in unsanitary conditions where the fish are swimming in filth. The fish may be cheap, but you have to consider the source. Wild, fresh fish is usually best when you can find it.

[savestakingout]

awesome recipe.

im enjoying browsing the rest of your recipes.

great videos.

[ChefTips]

Thank you very much. More videos are in the works! =]

[CookingWithAlex]

[axslinger]

The dish looked good...great tip about toasting the cornmeal to bring out the flavor. I have done that with nuts, but wouldn't have thought to do that with the cornmeal. Thanks!

[ChefTips]

You are welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[MinhSa]

How did you get the rice in a cup form like that?

[ChefTips]

Good eye! I used a small ramekin to form the rice.

[nwLohmann]

[ChefTips]

Thanks, and you're so welcome! Cheers, Jason

[SerbKing13]

Hey Jason, I'm Stefan. Love the recipe, I added my own twist to the recipe, I'll give u the idea !

A small Spritz of lemon on the FIsh, adds for more flavour !

[ChefTips]

Thanks Stefan! Glad you enjoyed the recipe! Fresh lemon is always nice. Jason

[ChefTips]

Thank you!

[Vis4Virtue]

I made this dish the other day. I added my own little spin to it but it came out wonderful! Thanks

Tillapia And Rice Is Eaten Everyday Here In The Philippines Thanks For The Recipe :)

[ChefTips]

You're welcome, and thanks for taking the time to comment. =]

[macgarenbh]

I love Tilapia(and im lovin your recipes too, I'm learning a lot). I breed this fish here in Brazil, for "own use only". We use to put, for some seconds, the tilapia in water with some drops of lemon juice. It reduces the fish smell and the fry smoke. It's very common in brazilian beaches serve fish with only salt and prepared with the cornmeal coating, sided with lemon in halves and mayonnaise sauce.

[ChefTips]

Thanks for sharing that!

[MaldrenWins]

uh hey how's it goin good recipe chef JAson hill. I'm really rhotoughly impressed and surprised that I haven't seen you on TV yet, maybe it's just because im in the UK that o havent seen you thouigh!!!

[ChefTips]

I always appreciate you taking the time to comment swt1212. Glad to hear you liked this recipe, and that the tortilla soup was a hit too!  =]

Thanks for the nice comment Desi4evah. =]

[xXcam0manXx]

Tilapia is a crapy tasting fish , it shouldnt be ur so called top 10, it sucks, i rather eat a great tasting crappie or bluegill any day of my life but not that crapy-ass mexican want-a-be sunfish, but i think ur recipe would go good with some fried sea bass...... o yea people dont waste ur time eating this crapy fish, eat a stripper or something

[marco1221911]

looks great. I like the aspect of toasting the corn meal and also how you plated the dinner was fantastic. I have a grilled squid recipe with an out of this world sauce on my account so check it out!

[AngryLlamaz]

Looks delicious chef. I will definitely try this out as I have a bunch of tilapia in the freezer. THanks!

[ChefTips]

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy this healthy recipe.

YOU HOSTED A COOKING SHOW? HOLY CRAP.

i always knew you'd make it big CH. JH

[ChefTips]

Ha! lol!

It was a local cooking class/show for our local community. Far from the big time, but still lots of fun to do!

[7seveng7]

I tried Tilapia for the first time about a year ago at Denny's of all places and became an instant fan of the fish. Before that, I didn't even know what it was. I was surprised at how cheap the price of it was at the grocery store. I'll definitely have to try your recipe. Looks great!
