Does anyone know where the frozen Basa Fish comes from? I read online it comes from Vietnam where it is farmed in the most polluted rivers! Yuk! No wonder its so cheap here.....Maybe the frozen Mero fish would be a better choice?

Why are they importing fish from Vietnam when we live on an Island surrounded by ocean? How do we get local fish then I wonder?

Yes you can get fresh fish here every day. Usually Mahi-mahi, chillo (red snapper), parrot fish, tuna, and others.
