Seen served here with some lemon and black pepper dusted basa fillets and a selection of vegetables but can be served with a variety of other meals.

Our fish monger introduced us to Basa (or River Cobbler as it is often called) a few years back. We love it as an alternative to more common white fish such as haddock, cod, whiting, etc.

 

We get a big bag of Basa fillets (usually about 10 or so decent fillets) for about £6 so its less than a £1 fish laugh.png

 

Seen here with a light dusting of lemon and pepper flour. YUMMY!

basa is a lovely fish and easy to cook.very flavorful for a white fish.i think its the same as what the Americans call catfish but comes from Vietnam. paul

I suppose that is one way to conserve North Sea fish stocks ship fish over to Lincolnshire from Vietnam . Not sure it does much for the Grimsby fishermens jobs though .

It is farm-bred in sewage and tastes of nothing at all in my experience. I prefer proper fish, like COD!

They were a tad on the spicy side, bit too heavy handed with the chilli this time but they were wolfed down non the less.

 

You know, I would never put you down as a "Domestic goddess". But my view has changed!

Cheap fish fingers as can be had for about 60p for a packet of 10 at supermarkets are made with Alaskan Pollock, so the packet says, I soak em for a bit in a sweet'n'sour mixture before grilling, they're really nice.

 

I expect you believed the tesco beefburgers were made with beef too, own up!!

Well I've dissected a couple minutely to check, picked and poked em about and I'd say they're constructed of fish all right, the fish fingers that is not the beef burgers which I never buy, it only takes a minute or two to make your own, and much tastier too.

make up your mind.

 

The spud recipe looks yummy, not the £1 fsh.

 

I tried the spud idea tonight. FANTASTIC! (I left out the egg and flour though.)

 

But the wind was incredible. It finally forced me to get up. This is why I'm posting at stupid o'clock this morning... ;)
