    Bought these today

    Be warned that the fish fillets are very small. Only fill around 3/4 of the (already quite small ) packaging

    Ate these yesterday. Fish fillets were horrible, nothing like picture on box. Followed instructions exactly, but when cut through batter, fish inside was a mushy grey colour.

    Rest of offer was good (haven't tried the fish fingers yet).

    Forgot to add - you have to be careful at checkout. I had only bought special offer and was charged over £10. Pointed out that it was £5 meal deal. Involved items being rung through again and supervisor being called who explained that they had run out of peas and replaced with Co-op own brand, so she had to key in a special code to correct price. If I had bought more goods it would have been less obvious that I was being overcharged.

    Co-op needs to have a better way of letting us know which are the "selected stores"
    One has to read/scroll down the entire list.
    There could be a simple location or post code finder, as often used by other stores/sites

    Best way to do it is to do a "find" on the page and put in the first few characters of the town you are looking for. Doesnt always work , but better than trying to scroll through the whole list

    I also got the offer on Saturday and so far have only used the fish fingers.

    They were fine - a bit small, and Pollack rather than cod. But perfectly edible.

    Also got a £1 off your next £10 spend voucher from the till.

    I thought they'd done away with the till vouchers since introducing the new loyalty cards? I used to get two or three a week but now I just accrue cashback on the card. So far I've accumulated about £25.

    There seemed to be a gap when they weren't giving vouchers, but they are back again. I've had one last week and this week.
