What Is a Red Tilapia Butterfly Fillet?
A butterfly fillet is a whole fish opened flat and deboned, so the two fillet sides stay connected with the skin and tail intact. For this product, the red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) is headed, gutted, scaled, and has its backbone and rib bones removed, with fins off and the natural red skin and tail left on. The result is a near-boneless, butterfly-shaped fillet that cooks quickly and plates like a whole fish — ideal for pan-frying, grilling, baking and steaming. Baseafood supplies it non-CO treated, meaning no carbon-monoxide gas is used to fix color, for buyers and markets that require untreated fish.
