What is Frozen tilapia fillet?
Skinless, boneless tilapia fillets, individually frozen and often vacuum-packed; most are farmed and may be sold IQF or as a layer pack. Mild, lean, white flesh with a thin profile.
A cheap, neutral white fish for high-volume menus: fish tacos at taquerias, fried fish-and-chips and po'boys, Chinese-American steamed or fried whole-style plates, and West African and Caribbean fish stews. Takes any seasoning.

Fresh, frozen, and the catch
Seafood gets quoted fresh or frozen and compared per pound. Fresh moves with the catch, the season and the grade, so it can jump week to week; plenty of NYC kitchens lean on frozen-at-sea for staples and save fresh for the features.
It's held pretty steady across the year.
Keeping your food cost in range
Most NYC kitchens run a food cost of 28–35% of menu price. Track the per-pound cost on your top cuts and price the menu against it — that's the simplest way to hold margin as wholesale rates move.
Sold by fillet size grade (e.g., 3-5 oz, 5-7 oz) — spec the count for consistent plate cost. Many are previously frozen and 'treated' with STPP, which holds water; if fillets weep heavily on thaw you're paying for moisture.
