Basa is a farm-raised fresh water fish. Basa fish is part of the catfish family. One of the benefits of basa fish it the lack of smell. Unlike other fishes you will not get that fishy smell after preparing basa fish. An even better benefit though is the delicate and mild taste.
Basa fish is originally from the Mekong River Delta in Vietnam and Chao Phraya basin. The basa fish is an important food resource in its origin area, but has the later years gotten a lot of interest from the American and European market as well.
Basa fish is typically grilled much like we grill salmon. I usually give it a brush with some butter. You can use garlic butter if you want to. Spice up the basa fish with some white pepper or other spices as well to give it extra taste. You can add lemon and lime at the end to give it some extra flavor.
When you feel that you have spiced up the basa fish the way you want you need to pack the fish in aluminum foil. This is a very simple process. Take a sheet of aluminum foil for each slice of basa fish. Then simply wrap the foil to cover the basa fish completely.
When it comes to how long you are supposed to grill the basa fish, people have different opinions. It all depend on how well grilled you want it to be. I typically grill on each side for 10 to 15 minutes or until it flakes. There is no need to turn the fish around all the time. Lay it on one side for 10 minutes and then turn it around for an aditional 10 minutes.
I hope you got the main idea on how to grill basa fish. The rest is now up to you. You can buy basa fish in several supermarkets, and you can test new ingredients and spices if you want to.
