    Quartered tomatoes, chopped onion, bulb of fennel cut up, diced sweet potato, put in dish with fish, season, drizzle with olive oil, bake at 180 for about 30 mins or until fennel soft. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve. Delicious. Could also add a few black olives 5 mins before taking out of oven.

    I buy the Tesco Value white fish all the time and really rate it. I let it defrost for a couple of hours (simply to get rid of most of the moisture), then its really nice:
    Covered in pesto/lemon juice,and baked/grilled.
    Sprinkled with stuffing mix and cheese, baked/grilled.
    Battered(any recipe you wish), and deep fried, with chips etc.
    Sliced up and battered, deep fried-with chinese food -like sweet and sour fish balls.
    Simply microwaved with veg and potato's.
    In my opinion this frozen fish is tasty and good value.

    This is what I did with mine last night, a bag of Sainsburys basic white fish fillets which actually turned out to be pollock.

    Firstly I poached them in milk in the oven, then made a white sauce with the poaching milk and some chicken stock, I added the flaked fish, some tiger prawns (reduced in Tescos to 56p) and some risotto rice (had a use by date of 2007 sometime, but I seem to be okay this morning) to the sauce. Let it simmer until rice was cooked. And finally added some frozen mixed veg, OH really liked it which was good seeing as it was a storecupboard/freezer meal, I'm not very good at meal planning and some of my concoctions can be quite unusual.

    Another good thing about this meal was apart from the tin I used to poached the fish in, I only used one saucepan and as a lazy moo, I like to minimise any washing up.

    I did think about battering it or making fishcakes, but I wasn't sure if I would need to defrost the fish for that (and if it would be okay to defrost).

    Am liking the sound of fish pie too!
    In a better financial position than ever before (thank you MSE!). Moved back to Scotland and now trying to keep debt-free!

    For the fish cakes I poached the fish from frozen then flaked it and went over it for bones. I was using Morrisons frozen white fish fillets (pollock)and they were fine, probably not great for battering though because the fillets were quite thin. HTH

    How about fish pie. I buy the same exactly for making it, its so simple to do.

    Boil and mash some potatoes.
    Poach the fish in milk i add a little parsley. Use the hot milk to make a white sauce.
    Flake the fish into an ovenproof dish, add some frozen peas and sweetcorn.
    Pour on the sauce, then top with the mash.
    Brown in the oven for about 30 - 40 mins.
    Never any left over when i make this.
    HTH
