Can tilapia be used as sushi?

Yes, tilapia can be used in sushi, but it is less common than other fish like tuna or salmon. When used, it should be very fresh and sourced from reputable suppliers to ensure safety, as tilapia is often farmed and may carry parasites. Additionally, some sushi chefs prefer to use tilapia in cooked preparations rather than raw. Always ensure that the fish is labeled as sushi-grade if you plan to consume it raw.
