Grilled Tilapia

Grilled Tilapia is one of my favorite Tilapia Recipe. There are many ways to grill tilapia; this variation requires the fish to be wrapped securely in aluminum foil to trap the juice producing a very flavorful grilled fish with a texture similar to steamed lapu - lapu

Another common method of grilling tilapia is by placing the fish directly in a grill without any wrapper. Scales are not removed from the fish to prevent the skin from sticking on the grill.

There is also a unique method of cooking that I witnessed when I went to the municipality of Taal in Batangas. A flat metal sheet is heated-up then the newly caught fish is directly placed on top of the sheet. It may sound more like searing rather than grilling. The result was fantastic. The texture is similar to fried tilapia without being oily.

his recipe might be simple but it sure tastes good. I understand that not all of our readers enjoy fish because of the fishy aftertaste. You can reduce the fishy aftertaste by adding a tablespoon of two of minced ginger in the filling. This will make the fish smell better while reducing its fishy aftertaste.
