swai

Cheap catfish fillet

Swai is a mild, white-fleshed freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia, commonly sold as inexpensive fillets in American supermarkets.

It's a type of catfish, though marketing often avoids that label.

The flesh is moist with a neutral flavor that takes on whatever seasonings you add: I made swai tacos with lime and cilantro.
