Slade Gorton & Company, founded in 1868, was the first to package salt-dried fish in barrels. Both establishments sailed the Atlantic with company-owned schooners, pulling in cod and mackerel and salt-curing them on board. Gorton also dealt in pickled fish. Gorton's became a registered trademark in 1875.

Range: Tilapia are native only to Africa and many U.S. States consider them an invasive, or non-indigenous species. Tilapia have been introduced around the world into fresh and brackish waters, sometimes deliberately for the purpose of controlling aquatic plant growth.

The popularity of tilapia came about due to its low price, easy preparation, and mild taste. It is also a traditionally popular food in the Philippines, also known for its low cost and mild taste. Traditionally, the fish is either fried as an individual food or boiled as part of a dish in the country.

Using Gorton's Fish Fillets is an excellent source of protein and can be an easy replacement for beef and chicken.

Tilapia is a nutritious food, and it can be part of a healthy and balanced diet. It is a good source of protein and is relatively low in fat. Tilapia is also lower in sodium, calories, and total fat than bacon and other processed meats. However, unlike salmon, tilapia is not particularly high in omega-3 fatty acids.

tilapia, common name used for certain species of fishes belonging to the family Cichlidae (order Perciformes), represented by numerous, mostly freshwater species native to Africa. Tilapias are perhaps best known because of their potential as an easily raised and harvested food fish.

The common name "tilapia" is based on the name of the cichlid genus Tilapia, which is itself a latinization of tlhapi, the Tswana word for "fish". Scottish zoologist Andrew Smith named the genus in 1840.

Tilapia has a higher amount of omega-3 fatty acids than other meats including chicken, pork and beef. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for brain function as well as growth and development. Wild tilapia has a higher amount of omega-3 fatty acids than farmed tilapia.

Native to Africa and the Middle East, tilapia are now grown as farmed fish in the United States, Canada, China, Ecuador and Taiwan. There are three genera, Oreochromis, Sarotherodon and Tilapia, which include more than 70 species.
