    I saw this in Tesco, there always seems to be reduced stuff, what does it taste like ? I like haddock (smoked or non) and salmon but not oily fishes like mackeral or herring. I have seen mixed reviews on it!
    Thanks

    It's smoked like smoked haddock. Skinless, boneless, cheaper than haddock and when steamed the flesh is a bit more "moist" than haddock sometimes can be, so we like it just steamed with veg. I think I saw one report likening it more to sole.

    It's not like mackerel (haven't had herring).
