Anyone know what kind of fish is " Filete De Basa " is ? *Got if from central.
I believe it is Sea Bass. This is the only fish I will buy that is frozen here.
I don't know what it is, but I buy it frozen in DR all the time and we enjoy it. *Please don't tell me it's something awful.*
just dont eat basa and mero thinking you are eating something healthy. i do cook up a nice filet a few times a month because its so easy and cheap. 69 pesos per pound

the sea bass in the supermarkets doesn't come from here I've seen them taking it out of boxes in la serena I think it said Thailand on the boxes.
They're the ones that didn't get away.

that fish is loaded with antibiotics and is farm raised . Farm raised means its also load with chemicals to grow in half the time it take for a normal fish to grow in filthy tanks unregulated in south east asia. YOU ARE BETTER OFF EATING HORSE PUP OFF THE MALCON.
If you like catfish like I do, then it's not awful. They are bottom feeders and are imported from Vietnam.
The basa fish (Pangasius bocourti) is a species of catfish in the family Pangasiidae. Basa are native to the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins in Indochina
Farmed fish and shrimp need antibiotics because they are grown in condensed populations. There are numerous parallels comparing it to chicken and other concentrated feed lots.
I usually eat river caught tilapia here or parrotfish on the coast. The DR should really get in gear to start eating lionfish, which are wiping out native species and from what I hear are quite tasty. They are easily caught with a spear and a modified bucket to put them in.
I only eat that fish that is caught locally.I never eat cheap fish that is loaded with cancer carcinogen.
Red snapper is a nice fish
and if you drive along the Malcon you can buy some caught with in the hour.
