How to choose Basa fish: Use your fingers to squeeze the fish body. If the pressed part rebounds immediately, it means the fish is fresh. If it rebounds slowly or there are dents at the pressed part, it is not fresh. Second, look at the appearance and make sure the scales are intact. Third, look at the gills. Use your hands to peel open the gills near the fish head and look at the color of the gills under the light. If it is bright red, it means the fish is fresh. If it is dark red or dark purple, it means the fish has been stored for too long and should not be purchased.

Cooking method: The fish itself has a strong earthy smell, so it is not recommended to steam or stew it. Most of the Basa fish in Western supermarkets are in the form of frozen fillets (scaleless and boneless, whole pieces of fish).
