We raise our own Tilapia. Here they are! TilapiaSo we can actually ‘go fishing’ in our own little farm – we keep the Tilapia in a tank in a hatchery since they like warm water – about 85 degrees and so cannot be left outdoors during the winter months.

This recipe is pretty simple – a little fussy in the beginning ( I adapted it from MY RECIPES) but well worth it.
