The first time I had "Butterfish", it was at The Lighhouse restaurant. It was delicious. When I was in Sweetbay Supermarket, I asked the man behind the fist counter. He said Butterfish is really known as "Swai". It is actually Vietnamese Catfish. It doesn't sound good, but it tastes great. My husband found it in the frozen section in Walmart. It's about $10.00, and you get a whole bunch of individually wrapped pieces of "Swai". It's really good. Try it, you'll like it. Trish
