FRESH fish aint no different than frozen fish. And the protein content is probably the same.
£1.94 for 6 fillets of coley Tesco 520 grams.

In my area it's Sainsburys. Their fish is much fresher than Tesco, Morrisons and Asda; and it's under a glass counter, whilst all the others are left open!!!
Of the supermarkets, again Sainsburys is best for frozen fish; good quality and decent sized pieces.
However I do buy my frozen crispy fish from Lidl. Haddock, Cod and Hake are wonderful quality and very chunky pieces so that it's all fish and very little coating; and a very good price!!!

Apart from the heat content. :-P

For what it's worth, I like to see fish displayed on open counters, and not behind glass. Provided the fish is really fresh, and sold whilst it is still really fresh, it won't come to any harm. And what's more, without the glass in the way, it's far easier to see whether it's really fresh or not.

Err, you wouldn't happen to shop at the same Morrisons as I do, in Derby, would you?

I don't, but I don't imagine customer service is that bad in every branch. When our local one used to be a Safeway, it was just as bad. They seem to have an ingrained culture of indifference towards customers, and this is perpetuated by the fact that they're the only large supermarket in town. In a couple of years time though, we're supposed to be getting a Sainsburys - it'll be interesting to see if that makes any difference.

I shop in Morrisons every day, and I can tell you the fish that they pre-package is just as fresh as the fresh fish they sell. It's the same thing.

The reason they pre-package it is because most people won't go to the counter and ask for what they want. They prefer to have it in a package that tells them what it is and how much it will cost.

But it's the same fish, they just package it and label it so those who are not confident enough to go and ask for what they want can just pick it up.



Thanks for that, I noticed tilapia in Morrisons today, not having a clue about it I made a mental note to ask in here, then forgot!

The one I saw was pre-packed, half price in the reduced section. The label said something like "already prepared" or "ready prepared" but the fish still had it's head and tail, but it's belly had been slit open.

Do they taste nice?

when they say prepared they mean guts/gills etc taken out, it only takes 2 secs to cut its head and tail off, and of course if its head and tail are still on they get more for it;)
