Indulge in a true taste of the Aegean coast with our cubes of flaky, snow-white Tilapia, pan-seared and seasoned with an aromatic rub of ground oregano and lemon zest. This succulent fish is nestled inside a pocket of warm, supple, pitta, filled with cool, vine-ripened tomato, and the salty tang of Kalamata olives. Drenching this medley is our cooling concoction of house-made Tzatziki.
