The Pangasius (Basa)fish, is a type of catfish in the family Pangasiidae. Pangasius are most commonly found in the waters of Mekong River Delta, Viet Nam. These fish are important and famous food fish in markets all over the world. They are often labeled in North America and Australia as basa fish. In the UK, the species is known mainly as river cobbler, with basa also being used on occasion. In Europe, these fish are commonly marketed as pangassius or panga.
Known for its mild taste and white, flaky meat, the basa fish is beginning to challenge other sorts of catfish around the world as a preferred food catfish. Most feel the basa fish has a "cleaner" taste than most other forms of farm-raised fish.
