The price per lb could really make the difference: at $3.99 and up price/lb for fillet, makes it comparable in upgrade and buying a different kind of fish.

With that in mind, choosing the whole tilapia makes sense, especially most of the fish is editable and you can even make fish soup with the parts excluded from filleting.

Being able to make use and eat the whole fish, we can reduce waste and save the environment along with our budget (extra savings here and there from grocery filling the gaps when other grocery items come needed). So the major challenge now is to look for your favorite grocery stores to carry the whole tilapia (we are very lucky to find them at Sam’s Club: secret, before they ran out at the store!)
