Basa is a fresh water fish, farmed mainly in the Mekong River system of Vietnam. It is one the world's most successful aquaculture species - and is rapidly becoming one of the most popular fish in Europe, north America - and Australia.
These fast growing fish produce large white fillets with no bones, flesh that is moist with a light firm texture, and a mild fish flavour - exactly the combination preferred by most Australians. This makes Basa one of the most versatile species we have: ideal for restaurant or take-away meals, but equally suitable as a table fish to cook at home using a multitude of recipes and cooking styles.
Basa is often presented in retail outlets already prepared in a variety of flavoured marinades, ready to cook and eat within minutes.
The name Basa was chosen by the Australian Fish Names Committee as the approved Standard marketing Australian name. It is derived from the local (Vietnamese) word for the species. Names such as Pacific Dory or Catfish are incorrect.
