re: How upsetting is it to get Swai instead of catfish?

If you go to a local (La.) lenten fish fry chances are you are getting swai/basa. It tastes and cooks up fine, but it's not catfish. It really doesn't bother me. Many of those eating use it as a vehicle for ketchup, tartar sauce, or cocktail sauce anyway so there's that.
What I do like about swai was the uniform portion sizes. If you ordered a box of 7-9oz filets, there was little variation.

I didn't mean to get into an ichtyological discussion on the differences, only that it's not catfish but since you asked..

What is Swai Fish?
Swai (pronounced s-WHY) is in the genus Pangasius, the same group catfish is in. However, in the United States swai cannot be considered catfish—as that designation is saved for members of the family Ictaluridae—even though they taste very similar. Swai does, however, look quite different and doesn't have the large bottom-feeder mouth or whiskers like catfish does.

So in your world a moose and a deer are the same. Got it.
I mean, they don't even look alike.

I bit into the Mac and cheese and it was good. Made with spaghetti though.
The older I get, the less I eat mac and cheese for whatever reason. But my MawMaw always made it with spaghetti instead of elbow macaroni, so I prefer the spaghetti anyway…

Even montalbano's is serving this crap. It is disgusting. Surprisingly the farm raised MS catfish individually frozen is not bad, but I still prefer specs I catch myself.

So all catfish look alike? This isn't something reasonable minds can differ on. Swai is a catfish. It's not channel. Flathead isn't channel either. Posted on 2/2/23 at 7:50 pm to Napoleon
Crawford's on Staring has some pretty tasty C-fish. May be Swai or Basa I guess but it is very mild tasting and everyone I know that eats it thinks its delicious.
