Izumidai (Tilapia)

Izumidai (Tilapia)

Tilapia has very low levels of mercury, as they are fast-growing, lean, and short-lived, with a primarily vegetarian diet, so do not accumulate mercury found in prey. Tilapias are low in saturated fat, calories, carbohydrates, and sodium, and are a good protein source. They also contain the micronutrients phosphorus, niacin, selenium, vitamin B12, and potassium.

Sushi grade tilapia, also known as Izumidai or Izumi-Dai, is a high quality, firm fish with a mild, clean taste perfect for sashimi and sushi applications.
