| ST PETER'S fish, a warm water species usually foundin the Caribbean and Israel,is now being farmed in England. It is the first time the freshwater fish has been cultivated in this country. That, says the producer, Pisces Aquaculture, means a regular supply of fresh fish at stable prices can be secured. St Peter's fish, also known as tilapia, comes in silver or red varieties. Both have white, moist, firm flesh with a taste similar to bream. The bones are said to be large and visible, making it easy to eat. The farmed fish weigh about 12oz-1lb each and measure 8-12in long - a one-person serving. |
