Hi Chap and Chapesses
Never thought i would ever taste a freshwater fish that would come near a saltwater fish until Last night
Ocean basket a nice bottle of Red and a platter with calamari, linefish and pawns.
Line fish had me stumped as it was soft, delicate in texture with less of a fish taste than fresh hake so had to ask manager. Basa - sorry what? Basa its a freshwater fish farmed commercialy in Vietnam. They used to derve Kingklip as their linefish but due to it being on the orange Sassi list they have had to find alternatives. Absolutely no idea that it was a freshwater fish.
Its actually from the catfish family and is farmed in and around the MEkong river in Nam. Exported worlwide and caused a stir in the States as it screwed up their local catfish market.
