Grilled Basa Fish - How to do it
May 13, 2008
Basa fish is a member of the catfish family, farm-raised in fresh water. The flavor of the basa is milder and more delicate than other catfish. When you cook or grill it you also do not get that fishy smell all around your home.
Mekong River Delta in Vietnam and Chao Phraya basin are the native areas of the basa fish. Basa fish are known to be from large rivers, in rapids and in deep, slower reaches. The American and European food market has the latest years taken an interest in the basa fish.
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.
After you have spiced up the basa filets and added some butter it is necessary to pack aluminum foil around them. There are several reasons for this. The process is simple. Make one sheet of aluminum foil for each filet and wrap the foil around it.
When you put the aluminum wrapped basa fish filets on the grill you should grill them for at least 10 minutes on each side. The cooking time is between 10 and 15 minutes. It is important not to overcook them. It is not recommended to turn the fish around all the time. Grill them for 10 minutes on one side and then turn them around for an additional 10 minutes.
You now have a short guide for on how to grill basa fish. All you have to do now is get to the store and buy you some to get started.
