We just ran a really successful dish using the blue tilapia. Honestly, I was a little hesitant putting tilapia on our menu, the cheap stuff screams bad fish tacos to me. But obviously this product is different, we tasted our staff on it and they got behind it. It sold out. Its a perfect portion size for me, no waste, no labor whatsoever.
