I saw the same thing and haven't eaten Tilapia since.

I have found the easiest and a very tasty way to prepare tilapia is to melt a tablespoon of orange marmalade in a non-stick pan and place the tilapia in the skillet, cooking until tender.

I always buy my Tilapia at asian grocery stores. They sell it alive. They can clean it and deep fry it for you for free. When lightly salted, it is very crunchy. I serve it with salsa – tomatoes, onions, cilantro and lemon. Yummy!

I have been told that farm raised talapia (which are most) are raised in tanks below bass and eat the bass waste. UGH! I haven’t been able to eat Talapia since!

Guidelines set forth for omega-6 fats (also called linoleic acids) for female over 18 years is between 11-12 grams per day and males over 18 years is between 14-17 grams per day. Recommendations for omega-3 fats (also called alpha linolenic acids) is 1.1 grams per day for women over 18 years and 1.6 grams per day for men over 18 years. So consuming tilapia in moderation (amounts I gave you before were in milligrams) will not send your omega-6 amounts through the roof.

How is this comparative to recommended/allowable levels?

Hi Sharon,
A 3-ounce piece of tilapia contains about 176 milligrams of omega-6 fats. It also contains about 185 milligrams of the omega-3 fats.

I have read that Tilapia is full of Omega 6. Is this true?
