:rotfl: I must say when I saw this thread I was ready to shout 'oy, fish in the slow cooker -NO!' but you beat me to it:D

My friend has a slow cooker and she loves it to pieces because when she is working she can fling a casserole together before she leaves in the morning and come home to a lovely hot meal. Her kids have lots on after school so they can all eat the same meal but at times to suit them. She cooks meat-based casseroles in her SC. For my friend a slow cooker is a valuable tool and she produces tasty family meals from it. If I were working all day and ferrying kids about all evening I would consider one too.

However, (here it comes:p ) what concerns me is that newcomers to this board all too often get the idea that 1) you need a slow cooker to be old style, and 2) that you can cook anything in it.

I am not a newcomer to being oldstyle, just that i have never cooked fish in it before.

Nor do i think you can cook anything in it. Thats why i was asking, as some things i woudl never have considered before i have found recipes on here before.

My slow cooker is my best friend when i am working, makes my life so much easier.

ive got a feeling the fish my go dry and chewy as its not designed to be cooked for a long time. thats why we use normally braising steaks or chicken in it which can be cooked for a long time,
someone correct me if im wrong please!

I'm sure you could, but as fish takes no time to cook, why bother? Slow cookers are designed to tenderise cheaper cuts of meat.

However, there is an existing thread on fish in a SC so I'll merge this to give you more recipe ideas.

it was just a thought

so ty all for putting me right on this

still fancy fish in tom sauce though so will look through the tomoate sauce recipes to have with me fish

i've cooked fish in the slow cooker, well markrel (it was lovely and soft) but i normally use it for the filling of fish pie which you wnat falling apart anyway, saying that when i did markrel i put it on at lunchtime, instead of in the morning
