    Has anyone had the Butterfish experience?

    Brother in law fed his family with some about 6 weeks ago
    6 out of 8 people came down with ( as an old dairy farmer like me would put it) the scours.

    Look it up and while your at it look for butterfish side effects.

    My dictionary defines green as ‘unripe, immature, undeveloped'. Perfect description.

    Most political parties are seen as interested in what the voters think, the Greens are seen as thinking the community should be interested in what they think.

    Good grief, I was only a boy when I started this post.

    Do you know why Bassa is such a clean looking light fish? The bleach the fillets thats why.

    Re: FRESHWATER BASA

    Bassa has been sold in our supermarkets and fish retailers for some time now.

    The vast majority of fishermen ( anglers ) steer clear of it as they know exactly under what conditions these ' things ' are bred and processed.

    I think Steve has been to Thailand to see first hand the " cess-pitt " in which these fish are bred.

    Derek, you remember the story about cooking and you add a house.... etc. well this is a prime example.

    OH, and I gave away my prize from the cooking demonstration to the lady beside me who was going 'round OZ with Hubby. And that Bread was yummy,,,, Bungle something or other ???????

    Strangely enough I had a glimpse into the seafood counter at our IGA today and the only fish available was nile perch...Tasmanian salmon(which looked nice but at $33 a kg) and of course a whole tray of Basa fillets...
    As I sat up to my beautiful fat Coral Trout and salad burger tonight I just still can't believe anyone would actually eat that crap...the thought of actually putting that shit in my mouth almost makes me sick...

    G'day!

    Basa is also known as Pacific Dory. I believe it is/was the dory sold in Sizzlers.

    Its white firm flesh would make it a great substitute for cod, reef fish, or flake in fish and chip shops.

    I heard the basa is a pretty popular dish in our countries prisons....they say it goes down a treat when accompanied by toilet wine.

    Have you ever researched "NIle Perch" and its origins?

    Re: FRESHWATER BASA

    The last time I ate "fish and chips" (and the first time in about ten years) was about three years ago at a fish and chip shop at the ramp near bribie. We'd just taken a boat for a test and were totally starving and thought bugger it, we'll buy something for dinner. I chose barramundi fillets (which I believe would have been Nile Perch) and thought it tasted a bit odd.
    Anyway, I ended up with food poisoning.
    BASA get fed poo (as in the human stuff) so it's little wonder it tastes the way it apparently does.
    Moral of the story only eat the fish you catch yourself... and hmmmmmmmm... weren't those snapper, mackerel and flatties from the weekend pretty tasty

    Re: FRESHWATER BASA

    It really makes you wonder why they let this garbage into the country. YUK !!!

    Re: FRESHWATER BASA

    I don't think I have knowingly eaten basa but looks now like I could have. I would have considered it for the odd Thai red or green curry but might give it a wide berth now.



    Our local fish shop has a good range of 'fresh' product in the window. To their credit,t hey have the country of origin on all product. The sad fact is that I think there are inly 3 at the most with 'Product of Australia' on the price/breed tag. Even the whiting is imported....to their credit, I don't actually think they sell Basa.

    Re: FRESHWATER BASA

    Definitely stay with the fresh local fish, at least you know what you are getting...................or do you.
