Fish
Striped Pangasius
A tier
Striped pangasius highlights the juvenile stripe pattern and species identity of farmed Mekong catfish sold as wide white fillets. Eating quality is mild and moist when processed well, ideal for gentle oven cookery and light sauces that need a neutral canvas. Use for family bakes, fish tacos, and institutional catering. Trim any residual red muscle if flavour seems strong. Striped pangasius is the same core product as tra—naming differs by market more than biology.
