You can cook basa (cobbler) in exactly the same way as you cook cod. It is used as a cheap alternative by many of the frozen fish product manufacturers.
I like it, but it does come a long way, from Vietnam and Thailand.
yes, I think its much tastier than cod, more like plaice. I fry the fillet uncoated from frozen in a little oil turning once and letting each side get a little golden and crispy. I add a little butter and lemon or lime juice to the pan then serve piuring the pan juices over. Season with a little sea salt.

That sounds nice woofgang - I noticed on the bag to grill or bake only, might try frying it next time
thanks
yes I thought that was a bit silly, I emailed Youngs about it..it nearly put me off buying the fish. The fillets are a little fragile, like a plaice fillet, which is why i say only turn once, let one side get well cooked and firm up before you turn it
