Looks like tilapia 😬 plus it looks like it was frozen

I think it looks like tilapia too. But I’ve always used tilapia in nigiri. It’s got a good texture, mild flavor and looks nice.

In my experience, red snapper has a red band right under the skin whereas tilapia has some red meat.

That is 100% tilapia. Nowhere that serves imitation crab California roll is buying snapper.
I bet their menu consists of 5 fish: salmon, tuna, tilapia, unagi, escolar. Maybe hamachi if you are lucky. These dime a dozen sushi places are all the same.

If you eat it and it tastes good.

This isn’t that. In my opinion, if it doesn’t have the skin, it’s not snapper.

That’s packaged Izumadai not Madai.

Tilapia aside, that rice looks off

Even outside of sushi, red snapper is rarely red snapper.

How is tilapia sashimi? I’d like to try it. I won’t turn my nose up to it just because I haven’t tried it.

I wasn’t aware tilapia was used – I thought that is a fresh water rich and is a no no because of parasites, worms and other bad stuff.
