01
Fried whole
Dry the fish well, salt it inside and out, and fry it in plenty of hot oil until the skin is crisp. Portion-size tilapia opened for frying cooks evenly.

Sudado
Cook tomato, onion and garlic into a hogao, lay steaks or a whole fish in it, cover and simmer until the flesh flakes. Silver tilapia and cachama hold their shape.
03
Baked
Season a whole cachama with garlic, lime and salt, lay it on potatoes and bake it until the skin is golden and the flesh comes away from the bone.
