Time was when tilapia was primarily enjoyed by price-sensitive consumers in Egypt and other countries along the Mediterranean and Red Sea coasts. While the farm-raised whitefish remains just as popular there today as in the distant past, its mild-tasting, flaky fillets have become increasingly menued by chefs in North America and Europe during recent years. Now, Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA-based Gorton's has introduced a frozen retail pack of oven-ready Five Star Tilapia Premium Fillets enrobed in wheat-based breading. Five pieces typically come per 488-gram box, which sells for $5.99.
