  • About

Cascadura is a thick-scaled fish that lives in slow-moving fresh water. With long tendrils around its mouth, it resembles catfish. The local superstition in Trinidad is that if you eat cascadura you are destined to eventually return to the island. Since cascadura is rare even in the Caribbean, it’s not likely you’ll find it in American markets. The closest substitute for flavor is swordfish.
