Fresh Tilapia

Tilapia from Tropical Aquaculture is a fish that Americans love to eat.  Its mild flavor and affordability have made this once unknown fish native to Africa, the fourth most popular fish in the United States today.  In 2010, Americans consumed 475 million pounds of Tilapia – four times the amount from a decade ago.  Tropical Tilapia is raised in ponds that are naturally infused with saltwater with every new tide.  The saltwater acts as a natural cleanser and gives the fish a clean mild flavor and firm texture exclusive to Ecuadorian Tilapia. 

Tropical Tilapia is sourced from the only Tilapia farm in the Americas practicing low-density, polyculture systems.  Low-density allows the Tilapia to thrive and grow in an ample habitat – eliminating the need for chemicals and antibiotics.  Polyculture, a technique used to raise Tilapia and shrimp in the same pond, is considered friendlier to the environment, not only for the more efficient use of water and land, but also contributing to a healthier, more diverse habitat within the ponds themselves.

Tilapia is an excellent source of protein and is low in fat, calories and carbohydrates.  A 3oz cooked serving provides about one-third of the daily average recommended protein intake.  Fresh Tilapia fillets are an excellent source of Phosphorus, Niacin, Selenium, Vitamin B12 and Potassium.  Tropical Tilapia feed is 96% vegetable-based made of only the finest, purest ingredients, formulated to ensure purity and quality.
