Are frozen tilapia filets okay? They are not deep fried but rolled in breading, with 11 grams of fat per filet. Or frozen cod filets, with 8 grams. It seems kind of high in fat but i know fish generally has good fats...I am kind of confused. Both are Highliner brand.

i myself am not a fish eater, but according to Heather, you should supplement your staples by adding fresh seafood of any kind. she says that even fatty fish such as tuna and salmon does not seem to typically cause problems for ibs. again check out this website and her books for suggestions and solutions.

I use frozen tilapia, but there shouldnt be anything added to it like sauce, just the fish which you can let thaw and then use. Fresh fish here is so expensive i use a lot of frozen fish but mostly the more expensive versions. Tilapia and Panga are cheap so can be bought fresh more easily. Maybe your supermarket will even have a fish section, where you can get fresh tilapia. Fresh is always preferred above frozen but if you cant get it fresh, frozen is ok too.

I will baste the tilapia with a little egg white and then dredge it in bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Bake on a cookie sheet sprayed with PAM until done, or fry in a nonstick frying pan with 1 tsp oil.
Also, see Shirl's Tilapia recipe on the recipe board. She uses a frying pan and fat free italian dressing. Yum!
Just make sure that your fish is not packed in oil.

Tilapia (and cod, especially) are low-fat fish--I'm guessing almost all the fat content is in the coatings. I read the labels online and I'd probably eat something like this occasionally. Others might need to be wary of the whole-grain content.

I still think with tuna and salmon you should avoid the fatty skin, which is where 99% of their fat is, or is it safe to eat the fat parts?
