Conclusion

Tilapia is a nutritious, affordable, and easy-to-prepare fish that can be safely eaten by both children and older adults. Its high protein content and essential vitamins make it a valuable part of the diet. However, because it is low in omega-3s, tilapia should not completely replace other fish. The healthiest approach is balance—tilapia a few times per week, combined with omega-3-rich fish, fresh vegetables, and whole grains.

When sourced responsibly and prepared in healthy ways, tilapia can be a beneficial addition to the diets of both the youngest and oldest members of the family.
