We decided to try out some Basa Fish fillet from Dunnes Stores today. They were farmed in Vietnam and were frozen. They were cheap and so we got these over hake which we had yesterday anyway.
Here is some info about Basa Fish or Panga from wikipedia.
The farming of it does not look like it is the most environmentally friendly, but other than that it is not the worst. It is not endangered in any way.
We cooked the fish in foil parcels to keep it moist. 200 degrees C for 20 minutes did the trick. The fish looked translucent when cooked and although very fresh (well as much as frozen fish can be) it tasted so eggy as to be like eating a piece of omelette. Not great overall then despite the cheap price.
Will give this a wide berth next time and try something else.

I concur - just had Basa for the first time and it tasted exactly like fried eggs. I also had translucent flesh after cooking, even though it flaked. Not a great first experience.
