Do frozen tilapia fillets need to be thawed before preparing them for baking?

If they came in a box, I would read the directions on the box as for heating. The fish may already be cooked, especially if they are already breaded. If no directions came with the packaging, and the fish have been in the freezer for some time, I would find something else to eat. In my opinion, fish have to be flash frozen to keep the cells in the meat from breaking. When the cells break from slow freezing, the fish meat is 'mushy' and can 'go bad' quicker.

∙ 14y agoNo. Breaded fish fillets, including those made with all types of fish, are supposed to be cooked while frozen. Otherwise, the breading will be likely to come off before or during cooking. These products should come with directions for cooking/heating, so it's always best to follow the directions on the packaging. But if there are no instructions, you can place them on a baking sheet that's been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 to 25 minutes.
And if the frozen fish fillets do become thawed, it's best to either cook immediately or discard because refreezing breaded fish is not a good idea, and can cause food borne illness. At the very least, refreezing would affect the quality (taste and texture) of the fish.

There should be no bones in fillet of sole: a fish is filleted to remove its bones. However, care should still be taken when eating any kind of fish fillet, because tiny bones can be missed, and could pose a problem if one becomes stuck in the throat.

Cooking apples before baking them in a pie is up to the cook. It can be done either way. Cooking or sauteing the apples before baking will make a softer apple filling. The apples will be crunchier if they are not cooked or sauteed before baking.

Do humans eat the mola mola fish?
Humans have been eating Tilapia for at least 7000 years. The Egyptians farmed Tilapia at least 4000 years ago and Jesus passed out the very same Tilapia we eat today, caught in the Sea of Galilee (actually a fresh water lake), when he did his Sermon on the Mount. In fact, humans were still fishing mainly Tilapia from the Sea of Galilee until it was closed in 2009 for overfishing and low population fish counts. In contemporary times, Tilapia is a major export fish with the largest exporter being China despite its many problems with raising Tilapia in highly polluted waters, their overuse (some scientists say "abuse") of antibiotics, as well as their practice of raising fish in excrement "fertilized" waters. Tilapia is probably the most purchased fish in US markets and as prices for sea caught fish soar there seems to be no end to the increasing popularity of Tilapia as a worldwide, aquaculture product. In fact, according to INFOFISH 2010 "The US. was the single largest market for Tilapia globally. In the first 10 months of 2010, a 15% increase of Tilapia imports was recorded compared to the year before." Indeed humans are eating Tilapia like never before.
