Barbecue Tilapia Sandwich

Barbecue Tilapia Sandwich

Who doesn’t love the taste of the South? While many of us are familiar with barbecue sandwiches loaded with pulled pork, subbing in Tilapia is a great way to make this classic Southern meal not only healthier, but in our opinion, tastier too. Layer on homemade coleslaw and pickle slices and you’ve got a regionally-inspired sandwich that we guarantee will fast become a favorite.
