"tilapia" news and stories

I love ceviche, mostly because I could eat raw fish three times a day (don't worry, I eat five meals a day, so I'd eat other stuff, too). However, I also like ceviche because for the most part, it's light and healthy, chock full of fish that is cooked with nothing more than citrus juices, and lots of vegetables.

However, there may be some of us who are squeamish when it comes to raw fish, even though technically, the fish is cooked in ceviche with acid. Luckily, Eating Well has a recipe that mocks ceviche by lightly poaching tilapia fillets, then marinating them in the same types of ceviche spices and herbs. The full recipe is after the jump.

I don't eat sushi, so I'll have to take the Chicago Sun-Times' word on this.

Seems that Chicago-area restaurants that serve red snapper aren't really serving red snapper at all, they're serving cheap substitutes! And it wasn't an isolated case. In fact, samples were bought from fourteen different restaurants in the city, and none of them were actually red snapper. They found this out by doing DNA tests.

Coming this fall: CSI: Sushi.

The FDA calls it fraud and they are investigating.
