Fish and grits is one of my favorite dishes to cook that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Its filling and in my opinion is a comfort food that I sometimes cook for brunch on the weekends. Its doesn't matter if the tilapia is cooked with a crispy coating made from flour or is simply seasoned without it, its absolutely delicious! I would also recommend this recipe to beginners at cooking fish since tilapia is one of the easiest fish to cook and was one of the first kinds of fish I learned how to cook over the past few years. Tilapia has made it into my seafood dinner and brunch rotations along with cod, ahi tuna, and Atlantic salmon.
