Take the 2-minute tour ×  I discovered tilapia, and started to
like it. Could I use tilapia for recipes that require sole?

down vote accepted  Yes, the flavor and texture are a bit
different but from a technical perspective it would work.
Fillets of sole are typically a bit thinner and more flexible
than tilapia so if it's a recipe where the sole is to be wrapped
into a paupiette (rolled package) the tilapia would have to be
shaped differently (such as layer the filling on top of the
tilapia fillet instead of wrapping it, or sandwich the filling
between two smaller pieces of tilapia.)  Besides the fact that
you like Tilapia, the other benefit is that it's less expensive
than sole.  share|improve this answer add comment  Your Answer
