Octavio is the Spanish form of Octavius, derived from the Latin âoctavusâ meaning âeighthâ. Octavius was an ancient Roman family name mainly restricted to the plebian classes until being elevated to patrician status thanks to Emperor Augustus (born Gaius Octavius).
Favorite fillets include catfish, salmon, grouper, red snapper, and tilapia. For fillets or steaks, use a ruler to measure the thickness of the fish before cooking, then bake, uncovered, in the preheated 450 degrees F oven for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish.
Heat oven to 300 degrees F. In a shallow baking dish combine flour, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the tilapia and lightly coat each side. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess seasoned flour and place in the skillet. Brown on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
