Oreochromis aureus
The majority of tilapia offered in the US is imported from China, Taiwan and Vietnam, where they pump the fish full of antibiotics and other nasty chemicals. Our tilapia, on the other hand, is chemical free and raised in fully recirculating inland tanks. This is fish as nature intended!
Sustainably Sourced
Tilapia is native to Africa and the Middle East, but have established populations throughout the world. Tilapia farms produce much more commercial product than wild tilapia capture fisheries. Tilapia is the most widely grown of any farmed fish because they are easily cultured due to their omnivorous diet and ability to adapt their eating habits to available food. Tilapia farming produces a net of fish protein, meaning that more fish is produced than is used in the feed to grow the tilapia.
I Love Blue Sea’s tilapia is grown in Ecuador in enclosed ponds. These ponds reduce the risk of farmed tilapia escape into the wild where they compete with native species, and reduce risk of disease and parasite transfer with wild fish.
