If you want to serve more than 8 ounces that will likely give you a bit spare for people to come back for second helpings. You can also opt for frozen Tilapia fillets instead of buying fresh ones. However, remember that you must thaw it correctly and the taste is usually not quite as good as a real fresh one. That being said if you do not trust the supermarket to have very fresh fish sometimes it is actually better to buy frozen because while it is not as good as one-day old fish it&#8217;s certainly better than four-day-old fish, which it sometimes is. You can imagine by the time the supermarket gets the fish from the market, possibly stores it centrally, and then distributes it out it is already many days old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-handy-table-of-how-much-tilapia-per-person-for-between-4-to-100-people\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Handy_Table_of_How_Much_Tilapia_per_Person_for_Between_4_to_100_People\"><\/span>A Handy Table of How Much Tilapia per Person for Between 4 to 100 People<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-tilapia-per-person-for-10-guests-at-a-family-bbq\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Tilapia_Per_Person_For_4_People\"><\/span><strong>How Much Tilapia Per Person For 4 People <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For 4 people you sohould purchase 32 ounces of uncooked Tilapia fillets<\/li><li>You should plan to serve 26 oz of cooked Tilapia or per person just over 6 ounces for each person<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-tilapia-per-person-for-10-guests-at-a-family-bbq\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Tilapia_Per_Person_For_10_People\"><\/span><strong>How Much Tilapia Per Person For 10 People <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For 10 people you sohould purchase 5 lbs of uncooked Tilapia fillets<\/li><li>For 10 People you should plan to serve 4.1lbs of cooked Tilapia or per person just over 6 ounces for each guest<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8b897a8a\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-image-720\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-720x408.jpg\" alt=\"How Much Tilapia Per Person for a Family Picnic Of 20 People\" class=\"wp-image-12051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-720x408.jpg 720w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-480x272.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-640x363.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-960x544.jpg 960w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-1168x662.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1-9.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>How Much Tilapia Per Person for a Family Picnic Of 20 People<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-tilapia-per-person-for-10-guests-at-a-family-bbq\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Tilapia_Per_Person_For_20_People\"><\/span><strong>How Much Tilapia Per Person For 20 People <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For 20 people you sohould purchase 10 lbs of uncooked Tilapia fillets<\/li><li>For 20 People You should plan to serve 8 lbs of cooked Tilapia<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-tilapia-per-person-for-10-guests-at-a-family-bbq\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Tilapia_Per_Person_For_50_People\"><\/span><strong>How Much Tilapia Per Person For 50 People <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For 50 people you sohould purchase 25 lbs of uncooked Tilapia fillets<\/li><li>For 50 People You should plan to serve 20 lbs of cooked Tilapia<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-tilapia-per-person-for-10-guests-at-a-family-bbq\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Tilapia_Per_Person_For_100_People\"><\/span><strong>How Much Tilapia Per Person For 100 People <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>For 100 people you sohould purchase 50 lbs of uncooked Tilapia fillets<\/li><li>For 100 People You should plan to serve 40 lbs of cooked Tilapia<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-purchase-fresh-tilapia-from-the-market\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Purchase_Fresh_Tilapia_from_the_Market\"><\/span>How to Purchase Fresh Tilapia from the Market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may find fresh Tilapia easily in your local market.
