Implementation Steps
01
Cut open the tilapia's belly and remove the guts. Be sure to scale it thoroughly and remove the gills too. Then wash it very well and leave it to drain in a basket. Next, marinate the cleaned tilapia with iodized salt and seasoning powder for about 10 minutes so it absorbs the flavors. You can leave it whole or cut it into pieces as you like.
