Swai

Okay, we're depleting our oceans, and should avoid seafood. So, why is this fish $3.00/lb where pork is $2/lb for the cheaper cuts?

I tries this stuff on a whim in September(had a bad fishing weekend but wanted some fish). Me being the miserly sort, I saw it for $3, so I took the hook.

Made it poor man's lobster style (poached in water w/ salt and sugar added, then topped with clarified butter). Hot dang! Pretty good stuff.

Best all around fish there is (for the $). Fried (batter deep fried) some. Right on! Pan fried. Bingo. Even made a prefect fish gumbo.

My new favorite cheapie.

Time to restock the panfish.

Anyone having luck through the ice?

I thought poor mans lobster was Haddock or Pollock?

Never heard of this.

Always been that cooking style. But yeah, testically speaking, it's coddock.

One thing I'd warn against is baking the walleye whole. They have rather "gamey" tasting fat, unlike northern (delish!)

Any decent fish is good in a roux-less gumbo. (I go roux-less because of the additional calories the roux adds.)
