In the past I have found Dory quite pleasant & easy to cook. But having seen a TV documentary about the production of it in Vietnam and read this blog (https://simplelife4u.blogspot.com/2009/06/ikan-pangas-dory-fish-from-mekong-river.html) I would be extremely reluctant to risk the health of my family by eating it again unless I knew it had been properly farmed in hygienic conditions.

Dory – also known as River Cobbler, White Catfish, Gray Sole etc etc – is actually a species of Shark Catfish called Pangasius hypophthalmus. It mostly comes from river estuaries in Thailand & Vietnam (e.g. the Mekong which is highly polluted by industrial waste & chemicals)

found some fresh dill in SM for P55. I tried this recipe without the cherry tomatoes. It was good! Thanks for the recipe MM.

trax, they almost always have dill at Rustan’s, Landmark, S&R and large SM groceries… Also weekend markets at Salcedo, Legazpi, FTI, etc. ami, what went wrong with the butter? Any decent brand of REAL butter, not margarine, should work. “Lousy” butter has more water than others, so that might be one downside, but if cooking with it, should turn out okay… Did it burn too much? Not brown at all?

Hi MM. I bought some frozen cream dory the other day and wanted to try that fish twister i see on tv. this would also be something to try since i have a few pieces. but my problem is i still have not found dill. i read that cumin mentioned that it is available at farmer’s and centris weekend market. any other supermarket that has dill?

Hi MM, what brand of butter did you use for cooking the cream dory? We had cream dory at home last week and I made lemon butter sauce to pour over the fish but the butter I used didn’t work. Any recommendations?

great. another cream dory recipe for my family to try. a friend has a cream dory fish pond here in zamboanga. we get it for Php 90 if whole (bone and all), Php 100 if filleted, and Php 110 if delivered to your house. i have tried it adobo-style, breaded and fried, paksiw-style, and baked. our kids’ favorite is the breaded and fried. they think it’s better than fried chicken because “no bones!”.

@cumin thanks for that cumin..i’ve been at Farmers kanina and I got some Cream Dory, apparently their prices ranges from P250-P160 per kilo. I wonder about the differences when they all look fresh. I got mine for P150 after i haggling a bit :) I dunno what you call dill in Filipino..i’ve tried to look for dill in the nearby Puregold but they dont have it
