    It's an inexpensive farm-raised fish from Southeast Asia - Vietnam, to be specific.

    I coated mine with meal and sauteed it in a little peanut oil.

    It was pretty good.

    I love them! They are not always available though. We have grilled them, baked them and panfried them, yum!

    Thanks for responding, Carla.

    Most of the recipes I checked out called for baking or oven frying.

    My g'daughter likes it.

    Swai are vietnamese catfish. I love catfish, and Swai are very inexpensive. Good eats!

    Catfish, huh?

    Alrighty, then.

    It doesn't cost as much as American-raised catfish.

    Thanks, Nathan.

    I buy the fish whole and on Easter we let them thaw and then hide the catfish around the yard an in the house (under a stump, in the chair cushions; that sort of thing). We then invite the Vietnamese kids in the neighborhood over for a Catfish "noodling hunt". It's a great way to get the kids introduced to proper Christian culture (Easter and catfish noodling) using something they are already familiar with (smelly fish). Then we play dominoes and I usually get drunk and angry and topple their suits and make them go home to their commie parents.

    A prophet is never appreciated in his home discussion board. But around the neighborhood I am known as a healer and a teacher and a " trĂ²n mat" or "du ma Yankee lon".
