Swai

[dredlifter]

What does everyone think of swai? I have been eating it as a second fish source (after tuna) for the past year or so. It's probably the least "fishy"** tasting fist there is. I cook mine in a skillet with lemon juice and some rosemary on top. Simple and delicious, give it a try.


**one of my favorite Jim Gaffigan jokes, paraphrased "Isn't it weird how the best way to compliment fish, is to say it DOESN'T taste like fish?"

You can get it at Walmart and other large grocery stores.

I have never noticed at those large warehouse stores which is where I send to buy my frozen fish. No Walmart convenient for me but I will look know that u made me aware. I eat a lot of fish. Alot!!! Thx!

No problem! I get mine from a large grocery chain in the midwest. It's not too expensive either, comparable to tilapia, usually 8-10 fillets for $7-$9

I see the walmart brand has A LOT of sodium in it so maybe its best to avoid Walmart (as if you would need more reasons )

Hmmm. I would not have expected sodium. Now I have no reason to shop at Walmart. Lol

I don't think it has much of a taste, which is why I cook mine in lemon juice. It's perfect if you don't want to eat "fishy" tasting fish all the time.

To each his own!
