Bear

So here's the funny part... Ready? I hate fish, or anything fishy tasting! LOL

But I do like most shellfish such as Shrimp, crab, scallops and lobster. And I think Long John Silvers has great fish. haha. But I came across Swai (also known as Bas or Pegassi), which from my understanding is a catfish that originates from the Mekong River, which is so mild that it's basically the "chicken" of fish. It's like a blank slate, so it simply takes on whatever flavor you add to it. Tilapia is also a good, mild fish, but not even as mild as the Swai.

I have a friend that lives in WA and has been to Pike Place Fish Market many times. She gave me what I consider the ultimate of compliments when she told me that my beer battered fried fish was even better than theres! :)

Once again sir, thank you for the kind words. Being that you're the king of sammies, especially with left-overs, here's one that you may get a kick out of. The meal posted above was the first night Tracy was out of town. Here is the second night. I did a blackened Tilapia Po Boy with more spicy shrimp, and homemade tartar sauce.

This doesn't stack up to some of the amazing sammies I've seen you post, but it was noteworthy.

Robert

It's the piggles that make the samwich ;)

So I've heard if you know how the swai and tilapia was raised you would not touch it with a ten foot pole.

That fish looks amazing. We eat a lot of blackened fish and yours looks perfect. It's a shame that everyone else didn't get any. Guess you'll have to suffer through it all alone... unless you have too much. In that case we'll volunteer to help you out!

Looking Yummy.
