What are Tilefish?

About Tilefish

Tilefish are saltwater fish known for their unique tile-like scales. Tilefish are typically caught by commercial fishermen using bottom trawls, longlines, or handlines in the Atlantic Ocean.

Tilefish is a good source of protein and offers essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12. However, some species of tilefish have elevated mercury levels and should be consumed in moderation.

Tilefish from certain regions can contain high levels of mercury, which can be harmful, especially for pregnant women and young children. Checking the source and species is crucial.
