Have you ever made a meal, and as you were cooking it, you could tell that somethin' just wasn't right?
Unfortunately, that was my dining experience this evening.
In an effort to try to eat healthier, I bought a pre-seasoned swai fillet at the grocery store.
Looked good enough, and it was priced at only $1.36 ("special"), so I figured, "What the hay."
Well...as I was cooking it, the house began to SMELL. That wasn't good. I know that fish have a smell...AT THE OCEAN, but I don't think that the house is supposed to wreak of fish as the fish is cooking.
Once the fish was done, I served it over some brown rice. Healthy enough, right? I was too lazy to make veggies, so fish and rice it was gonna be. Which, but the way was exactly what I had for breakfast, although breakfast was DELICIOUS because the fish was salmon.
Anywhoo...I sit down and dig into my dinner. After the first bite I realized why this was only my 2nd time having swai. I DON'T LIKE SWAI!
I don't like the taste.
I don't like the texture.
I just don't like it.
I forced myself through a few more bites because I didn't want to waste food, but finally I had to give up and toss it. Now anyone who knows me and how much I LOVE food, knows that it MUST'VE been bad for me to throw it out.
So yeah...that was my 2nd and LAST time having swai.
Tonight's dinner will simply be hummus and pita chips. Can't go wrong with that combination.
Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever had swai? If so, how did you like it?
Talk to me!!!
Til next time...

never tried it. I remember reading it was kin to catfish so that made me
ReplyDeletenever want to eat it.
It does look a bit catfish-y, and it has a similar texture, so maybe that's why I don't like it either. I'm not a big fan of catfish, although I'll eat catfish nuggets every now and then. But as for swai...bye bye. You're not missing anything.
