Tilapia

Tilapia is a freshwater fish whose main habitats are South America, Africa and Asia. The main importers for Germany are China and Taiwan, although B2B wholesalers, suppliers and producers come from all over the world. Mostly tilapia are offered as filets in different trim levels. Especially on the African and Asian market, however, whole animals are also sold.

In food production, tilapia is a popular food fish due to its sweet and nutty taste and tender yet robust texture. This makes the tilapia suitable for frying, grilling, boiling and steaming, so it has many applications. The fish meat left over from fileting can also be used to make surimi (minced fish meat).

Tilapia by-products offer a wide range of applications. Thus, in addition to the food industry, medical companies are also among the customers of B2B suppliers and producers. There, collagen from tilapia skin and tilapia scales is used in pharmaceutical products and food supplements. Various wastes such as offal, fins, heads, skin and scales can be used to produce biodiesel, which is biodegradable and non-toxic. The skin of the tilapia can also be made into leather, which is used to make shoes, wallets, clothes and jewelry. Another possible application is fish glue, which is formulated from fish heads, bones and skins.
