pablo Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 This reminds me that it's Tuesday tomorrow, so the fish van comes. One of the bonuses of being at home has been catching the fish van. Haddock fillets and a bag of dressing. Doesn't take a lot cooking. Tasty as, in a sort of retro way. No bad local strawberries too. Wouldn't know about frozen fish.

I'm trying to fill the freezer with reasonably healthy stuff but anytime i buy frozen fish they're minging. Not read the whole thread but Tesco breaded Chunky Cod or Haddock fillets are really good. Has to be the "chunky" one though but watch as the non-chunky packaging is almost identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¼½¾ Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Watch if you're going to buy fish from a supermarket for freezing. Some stores sell 'fresh' fish which has previously been frozen. They have to tell you this, but the writing can be on the small side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White fish is one of those products you can safely do this. Another thing. I was in one of the deep freeze facilities in Peterhead a few years back and asked what all the boxes of fish stored about 10 racks up were for. He said, they've been there for about a year or more and we will likely sell them to chip shop suppliers or to fish processors who "value add" the product (i.e. make it into something else like fish fingers or fish pie or something). Over a year old! Fresh aye??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, most of the imported fruit and veg that you buy "fresh" from supermarkets was frozen before transit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
