Skin of tilapia covered

The skin of tilapia is typically smooth and thin, often grayish or bluish in color. It is covered with small, overlapping scales, which serve to protect the fish and reduce water resistance. Tilapia skin is edible and can be cooked in various ways, often adding flavor and texture to dishes. In aquaculture, tilapia are raised with care to ensure their skin remains healthy and free of disease.
