It looked like Catfish, tasted like Catfish, smelled like Catfish and it actually WAS Catfish........just Vietnamese Catfish.........
In south Louisiana, Basa probably outsells our local catfish 2or3:1 at the restaurant level. Basa is sometimes less than half the cost of our catfish. It does taste pretty similar to our catfish though.

I've bought basa twice over the last few years, and I thought the texture was just awful fried. I won't be buying it again. Real catfish is a lot better.

How does one ever confuse red snapper and tilapia in texture or taste?

If someone is fooled into thinking that the tilapia actually was redfish, then the impression they get (soggy, fishy, etc...) of the redfish "brand" forever takes a hit
I agree that Redfish is better than tilapia but if you have had Tilapia that is soggy and fishy then you must have eaten spoiled fish. Tilapia is very mild flavor far from fishy.
