Fish Similar to Tilapia

Recipes often call for tilapia because it's easy to find, neutral in flavor and inexpensive. Objections to tilapia abound, though, with critics pointing to questionable farm-raising practices and its inferior nutrition when compared to other fish. If you'd rather skip tilapia altogether, but not compromise the outcome of your recipe, substitute any other white, lean and flaky fish. Depending on your needs, good choices include black sea bass, catfish, flounder, orange roughy, red snapper and rainbow trout.
