Hi there. I moved to RP Jan. 23rd. As a norwegian it is mandatory to eat fish :-)
I checked around and found cream dory, which is an excellent fish to make fishcakes, -balls, ,-pudding, -form. I am VERY “feely” about fish. I actually (almost) hate fish, but nevertheless I eat ‘coz it’s important for the brain and the body.
My mother used to make all the previous mentioned types of fish dishes, just to get me to eat fish! So she’s taught me thoroughly how to make good fish dishes, like “Listen my by, without fish you DIE!).
I happily found a manual grinder at the Carbon market in Cebu. Well, that’s the story.
As of today, my fiancÃ©e will get fishcakes with veggies/rice when she comes home from her nursestudies. She loves it! My little (152 cm.) filipina can eat over 10 big fishcakes quicker than you can read this. So I kinda scored Bulls Eye, don’t you think?
Apart from the Cream Dory I also make a norwegian type of sushi with salmon. I use salmon for “gravlaks” (sushi), smoked salmon with scrambled egg on bread to breakfast, fried salmon with veggies or consommÃ© with fried salmon, creme fraÃ¯che and nice-cut veggies.
If you don’t have the recipes on the above mentioned dishes I’ll be just glad to send you one/more of them. use my email (eivind@trana.as) and I’ll answer you quickly.
Cheers!

Cream Dory fillet, White fish fillet, river cobbler fillet are names for a freshwater catfish pangasius hypophthalmus and related species of pangasius. Major exporters are vietman and thailand.

I wish the importers would label it properly as such, pangasius catfish fillet.

Karla, I had an earlier post on swordfish, butter, capers and lemon... just change the fish to ream dory and it should be good. I would go easy on the capers as they can overwhelm a flakier fish like cream dory... but if you love them, put as many as you like! :)

Because its perfect as a fish & chips dish, I have been researching about cream dory and its local name when I chanced upon your site. I got my answers…thanks…and also for your featured recipe. Now I can add variety to my home cooking!

Cream dory has invaded Manila. With its yummy taste and reasonable price, its no wonder local supermarkets classify it as one of their best sellers.

i bought some frozen cream dory fillets yesterday without knowing what they were ‘coz they looked interesting and, at P230/kilo, not that expensive. i was researching the web for it when i hit this site.

not that much info on it except from this one vietnamese site. it says the scientific name is Pangasius hypophthalmus. it is widely cultured in the mekong river area, grows quite big with a max recorded size of 44kg, and is actually a catfish.

btw, nice site.

my mom makes a similar dish a very fast one at that, she uses fresh whole tilapia fish, she mildly salts the fish, put a slice of ginger inside it and she zaps it in the microwave..then once its zapped, she puts coriander, julienned ginger, spring onions on top of the fish…and in a separate pan she heats about a quarter of a cup of peanut oil ’til its smoking hot and then pour it on the fish with light soy sauce..very fresh and yummy..

I’ve always wanted to try fish en papillote. But I have fish-cooking-phobia.

i’m gonna try this at home tonight. my father in-law who stays with us (vancouver) loves fish – any way you cook it. (he will like me more, i guess, if i keep on cooking fish dishes at home! he he he). didn’t know about the foil and lemon, though (been doing it for so long..)
