My DH liked this but I didn't feel the poached method went well with this particular fish, Basa. Although I did like the flavour of the old bay and the little bite it gives, but didn't like the texture of fish. I guess I prefer Basa coated and grilled. I didn't dislike it but it is not the way i would cook Basa again. I am happy that DH liked it!! Thanks!Reply

I live near Baltimore and this is a very simple tasty way to prepare and poach fish. The fish is perfect and the milk and Old Bay are a perfect compliment to a mild fish. I love this poaching method! The Old Bay is so good as a seasoning! I love it!Reply
