I see no issue with paying regular top price for "waste food " at the
restaurant of your choice. If you normally would pay $X for a fish
dinner, what difference does it make if the fish is ugly. The same
amount of time, resources and skill went into preparing it.

They're already selling Basa in many restaurants, and in many carts in the UK selling fish and chips. Little do the patrons realize that it's a Vietnamese catfish from the fish farms in the Mekong delta. You want a garbage fish this is a prime example.

What the heck is so wrong with utilizing fish that is eminently sustainable? Sounds brilliant to me.

Water quality in the Mekong delta. Pretty polluted.

There are other (ugly) fish in the sea. The point was that wonderful
food can be made from not-so-attractive edibles and parts that we
would normally think of being throw away.

Yup, the fish's diet consists mainly of raw human sewage...peeps living along and *on* the Mekong don't have flush toilets, their "effluent" goes straight into the river...

I wouldn't want to go swimming in most US rivers either. The only thing I know is that it doesn't have that bottom-feeding, scummy, taste that catfish has. Catfish meat is great stuff except for the taste. The second only thing that I know is that it hasn't killed me yet. That's good eats in my book..

In the new world we're going to need fish species that are prolifically sustainable to give some help to species that we're harvesting way too fast. If we're not going to stop eating fish, this is a good alternative. It's also a very easy fish to process. As far as meat goes, it's the closest thing we got to a shmoo in the real world.

A catfish is what put me off a lot of river fish. we used to fish for them
just about every night in the Sacramento River using clams for bait, caught
a fairly large one one evening and when it was cut open to clean, it was the
worst smelling thing I had ever smelled up to that point, absolutely
nauseating smell that I hope never to smell again. No more catfish for me,
and many other fish types too. DH is a fisherman so he eats all of his
catches, not me.

IMO any fish that comes from sluggish waters tastes bad. I love
farmed catfish.

Pollution in the Mississippi delta is worse than in the Mekong's and
Ganges (Sunderbans delta). So why pay the premium for muddy-tasting
American catfish when imported basa tastes better for half the price?

I don't eat any freshwater fish. They all, always, taste like mud
to me.
