Panga is also known as Pangases/Basa, a farmed freshwater meaty fish.
Pangasius is becoming a staple in the seafood industry because it can be farmed and grown in freshwater lakes. You can cook panga by pan-frying with oil for a few minutes on each side or oven-baking until opaque throughout. Panga fillets are white in color and about an inch thick. They are tender and moist, with a firm texture and mild flavour.
