Has anyone every cooked swai?

Bought some swai fillets and now I'm stumped. It appears you can either grill, pan fry or bake it, but wonder if anyone has a tried and true recipe or opinions?

Thanks!

What is a swai? Kind of sounds gross to the uninformed. (me)

I have never heard of swai. I'm not sure what it is and whether I would even want to it.

Swai is a good, mild fish. I just toss it into a greased baking dish, splash a little lemon on it, dot it with butter, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and thinly slice some onions to throw on top and in the baking dish. I baked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. (If you want a change of pace, splash some Worcestershire sauce on top of it also...unbelievably delicious!) Enjoy!

Since my son, the Chef, mentioned it, we serve this fish occasionally. DH pan fries it in butter. It is tasty.

Our grocery store just started carrying this a few months ago in the fish department. I asked what it was and they said it resembled cat fish, only milder. I bought some and really liked it. It has a very mild flavor and you can do just about anything with it. I have baked it with bread crumbs over the top and some lemon pepper, I have poached it in white wine, garlic and lemon, and I have also pan fried it.

They were giving away samples at Sam's Club and it was very good!!!

I also ate it at the now closed Bubba's Restaurant in GA. It was also very good there.

If my hubby liked seafood, I'd buy it and cook it at home. I have to eat all my seafood at a restaurant, he doesn't like the smell of cooked seafood in the house.

I just googled it and it appears to be similar to scrod or flounder

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Thanks for the ideas and good reviews. I was a little frightened (I'm not a big fan of catfish), but if it's mild, I'm in! I was just concerned we might have to have pizza delivery as back-up. ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$
