Today’s featured item is the Swai fish. I honestly have never even heard of this type of fish before, but apparently it’s insanely popular right now. Why? Well it’s a mild flavored fish that is budget friendly.
I’ll be honest. This week’s creation had me wrestling with what to make. I really wanted to try making a traditional Korean dish with this fish but realized that the meal would have probably gone against the “easy” theme for this series. I then switched gears to something kid friendly and finally decided on this Asian Inspired Spicy Baked Fish Sticks recipe. (Just remember to omit the Japanese pepper spices from the Panko mixture to make this kid friendly!)
These are excellent on their own, but would also be tasty with a light citrus flavored tempura sauce too!

My family loves fish. I never think to make fish sticks though!!
That looks really delicious! Is it a flaky fish?
It’s between firm and flaky…very moist!
I justsaw Swai for the first time in the grocery store this week! Glad to see your explanation. I bet hubby would like this.
We regularly purchase fish from Sam’s Club. They have a great selection and the prices are really good. Haven’t tried Swai though.
I just heard of Swai too! Where have I been? This is such an awesome idea! What a great way to make fish sticks, I know my son will love to try these!
