  • I bought a pack of these last year becasue I was on a grab-and-run shop and mis-read the packaging - thought it said 'Bass' fillets:D Anyway, as I am not one for waste I tried it and it tasted little better than a riverbed - the meat was a grey colour and it was fairly vile even when covered in cheese! Maybe I had a bad pack but haven't tried it since :-/

    It is from the catfish family and also known as river cobbler.

    The cheapest White fish that I've found is Sainsbury Qty 6 for £2.(33p each) Total weight 520g (£3.80kg)
    Tis either Cod or Coley. Tastes OK.
