    I'm sure you saw this - Eastern India?

    Doesn't tell us what kind / type / species of fish, though. What's important is how it tastes - fry the lad and let us know how he does.

    If it's farm-raised in India, I would not eat it... I'd rather eat goby out of Lake Michigan... really...

    I wonder if it's a misspelling of Sual, a fishing village in the Philippines that exports lots of farmed fish.

    When I got it, it was spelled Swad. Made a decent fish soup. The guy at the counter told me he didn't know and the lady who buys for that Jewel was on vacation. Helpful.
