Mad Dog Logan Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Iceland's own brand cod fillets in breadcrumbs are decent, tastes and looks like fish compared to some other frozen fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Marks & Spencer Fish is always good, fresh or frozen, you pay for it, but you get what you pay for. We often buy fresh and freeze them, the last lot was breaded haddock £6 for 4 fillets, decent thickness and tasted like proper haddock, as you know some brands are not good, but we've never been disappointed by M&S.

Noted. That's the problem i keep coming up against, "chip shop style fish" absolutely bugger all like a fish from the chip shop, it's barely even a fish, looks like it's been put together by a toddler. Processed muck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Reekin' Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 When freezing fish, or buying frozen fish, I've always found that the slightly more "oily" ones like salmon, sea-bass and sea-bream freeze better than the likes of cod or haddock.

Samuel Camazzola Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I've found basa to be quite tasty after cooking it from frozen. Tried a couple of frozen efforts from Aldi and Morrisons and can vouch for a taste of them. Worked quite well with the wee microwavable steam pouches of rice and veg.

We get the fish van from fife, (Pittenweem) arrives about 10 am on a Tuesday but he now comes at 11am to to big sales. Not the answer you wanted but you cant beat fresh fish.

I'm trying to fill the freezer with reasonably healthy stuff but anytime i buy frozen fish they're minging. I find that some of the best fish deals at the big supermarkets are whole fresh fish that’s about to expire from the display. People like the fish prepared, filleted etc by the fishmonger but not so keen on the whole fish, head, eyes looking at you. Tbh I think most people are not to confident in preparing a whole fish and the supermarket takes a wee bit of a hit with the display at the expense of it looking good. So, go to the cheap bit just before closing time and see what’s there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously prefer fresh fish but i had an online shop on the go at the time and wanted to stock my freezer up with reasonably healthy stuff. I've been to a fish van before and ended up paying double for worse haddock than Morrison's fish counter have.
