I love basa, it's also known as Vietnamese catfish. I recently started buying it as well and it's a nice large fish, bigger than Tilapia, so it's a bigger fillet. I love to just broil it seasoned with Tony Chachere's, but this recipe looks great. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to tree nuts. - 11/6/10

I would recommend doing this without the walnuts and add a little balsamic, also delicious!
