China Tilapia - A
Commercially Viable Fish
China is by far the biggest producer of Tilapia Fish. Tilapia is a
warm, freshwater fish belonging to the Cichlid
family. The taste is mild with a sweet flavor,
the meat being white, lean and flaky. Chinese Tilapia
has a high protein content and it is low in
fat. The fish generally grows to 1-1.5 pounds.
This fish has
a deep body, large scales, concave head and
large jaws. There are spines on dorsal and anal
fins. Tilapia fish is found in streams, canals,
lakes, ponds and estuaries.
Tilapia are not
carnivorous. They eat algae and plants. Tilapia
is low on the food chain and since they are
not carnivorous they do not have toxins in their
bodies. Hence it is a healthier food for humans.
Commercially
Tilapia is very popular because it is tasty.
China’s Tilapia has a very big market in all parts of
the world. Therefore this is a cash generating
fish. Siam Canadian sells it Whole Gutted or
as Tilapia Fillets. We harvest it from China, Vietnam, India, Myanmar
and Asia. We offer excellent quality of China Tilapia

Hilsa - An
All Time Delicacy
Hilsa is a longish
silvery fish, and has a delicious taste. It
is extremely popular both at home and social
functions. This fish is very bony. So the fish
is steamed for a long time till the bones becomes
soft and can be chewed. The Hilsa roe also has
an excellent flavor. There is one pair of roe
sacks which is removed after the fish is cut
open and sold separately. As a side dish, it
is probably even more tasty. Hilsa roe is to
be found in the market early in November and
is most tasty at the year end.
Siam Canadian
is a big exporter of this fish to the world
market.
