Last Thursday I had one swai 'loin' fillet individually vacuum packed from Meijer Markets. The loin was thick at least 1" probably from a larger fish. I sliced it in half for two 1/2" long slender pieces. I often do that with thick back pieces from a fillet of a larger fish. I deep fried one and broiled the other fillet. Taste and texture was very similar to other swai that I have eaten. What amazes me is how they always taste the same even if they are raised in 'bad water'. Taste is very similar to crappie in taste and texture.
Then Friday I was at Captain D's - again. This time I tried their Southern Whitefish Tenders $4.99. Still swai. Still very good tasting although not quite as much fish to eat since it was $1.00 less than the Southern Whitefish meal. As a side note. I saw my old Lk Erie fishing buddy also at Captain D's. He has access to fish of walleye, YP and crappie that he regularly catches. He was eating swai at Captain D's and says that is what he now always gets when eating there. He too said swai is similar to crappie; sort of soft, very white, and mild tasting.
