Swai is one of those fish that is slowly making its appearance in supermarkets throughout the United States but unlike other fish people are somewhat hesitant to try it because of its unfamiliarity.Swai is a relative of the catfish family.It is native to Southeast Asia.It goes by several names such as "China sole","striped catfish", or "tra".It is similar in taste and texture to tilapia.It's flesh has a sweet,mild taste.Some swai are passed off as swai but just check the sticker and look at it's country of origin.If it comes from Vietnam or any other Southeast Asian country it is most likely swai.Swai is a very versatile fish.It can be baked, broiled, fried,or grilled and goes well with any sauce.Below is my recipe for swai, but feel free to substitute any fish if you cannot find it.
