Pangasius

Pangasius is a type of freshwater fish native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in the Mekong River. Known for its mild flavor and firm texture, it is a popular choice in global cuisine, often referred to as "catfish." Pangasius is farmed extensively due to its fast growth and adaptability. It is an important source of protein in many diets and is usually sold as fillets.
