Chop TOMATOES medium and separate CILANTRO LEAVES from stems. Stir into fish and serve.

NOTES:

Fish: Fish other than Tilapia can also be used such as bass and snapper. Basically any very fresh fish with firm moderate flavored flesh. Frozen tilapia fillets are a good choice because they are fresh - deep frozen at the fish farm.
