Baked Swai with Tomatoes and Dill

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.

Coullioure Anchovies are a specialty of Coulliere, a small Meditteranean port in the Roussillon region of France where they are the main producer of this salted anchovy in the world.Granted PDO(Protected Designation of Origin)status by the European Union, Coullioure anchovies now face stiff competition from cheaper producers in Morocco.Coullioure anchovies are produced from the Engraulis Encrassicholus(European anchovy)species of the anchovy.They are fished from April-May and September-October.They are prepared by local women known as anchoieuses, who hand pick and salt the fresly caught fish.
