CODless Fish + Chips ??..Your experiences ...

Never heard if it, what the species ?

panga

Tex just tried to look it up on Wiki , etc ...
its not even listed there amongst about 40 or so "P" letter fish ...
but its on the Ripon menu and we ate 2 .. :0 :0

Maybe its slang for a real fish

They are found in lake Springfield

I have 28 years experience in fish business, never heard of that one, be a made up name for Ling, or Coley, or some Pacific species like Hoki, or could even be "silver Hake", the Pacific variety , they pushing that and Canadian Pollock to chippies wholesale these days.

i recommend seabass. beautiful.pan fried 2 minutes a side.

Seabass runs in the 2.00 Punchestown today

that horse is a half cousin to seabass the fish possibly.?

There is a fish called Pangasius I have had which is nothing to write home about.

Sure you don't mean that?

ha ha .try the fish. wow factor imo

thats it baracouda ..you of ALL people should know it .. :-)

oh dear !!!! :0 :0 :0
Industrially farmed in Vietnam along the Mekong River, Pangas or whatever theyre calling it, has only been recently introduced to the French market. However, in a very short amount of time, it has grown in popularity in France. The French are slurping up Pangas like its their last meal of soup noodles. They are very, very affordable (cheap), are sold in filets with no bones and they have a neutral (bland) flavor and texture; many would compare it to cod and sole, only much cheaper. But as tasty as some people may find it, theres, in fact, something hugely unsavory about it. I hope the information provided here will serve as very important information for you and your future choices. Heres why I think it is better left in the shops (and not on your dinner plates):
1. Pangas are teeming with high levels of poisons and bacteria. (industrial effluents, arsenic, and toxic and hazardous by-products of the growing industrial sector, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), metal contaminants, chlordane-related compounds (CHLs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB)). The reasons are that the Mekong River is one of the most polluted rivers on the planet and this is where pangas are farmed and industries along the river dump chemicals and industrial waste directly into it. To Note: a friend lab tests these fish and tells us to avoid eating them due to high amounts of contamination. Regardless of the reports and recommendations against selling them, the supermarkets still sell them to the general public knowing they are contaminated.

So Lake Springfield was spot on then!

Oh that's the one ,

I'm just going to lie down ..

I see reps every week trying to push 3rd world rubbish , it is a fallacy , Cod is not extinct , neither is Haddock.

Around 20 years ago a chippy in Scarborough did Woof and ***** not sure what the woof was but guess catfish?? It was very nice .

Probably better to throw up than lie down JJ

Momm, bit frightened that if I went to the toilet to throw up , i might want to dive in the loo and swim down to the sewers ... :0

JJ you can get Scarbrough Woof or Wolf fish from Carricks market stall, its good covered in flour then shallow fried

Seabass was a winner at Punchestown at 11s 8d. Must be an omen.

Once had turbot and *****in a very ordinary looking chippy in Aberdeen. Best I have ever had.

SAW A PROG WHERE A GUY on Jersey , was using one of the undeground Tunnels the Nazis had built by Slave labour in ww2 , as a "river" for breeding Turbot ...
they are bottom dwellers and so do NOT like sunlight , so this was ideal for them ..
He had tens of thousands of them ...takes them small , breeds them , and then takes them 5 years to reach the size where he gets £14-99p a turbot off the people he sells to .. :-)

watchdog had some tested and found no heavy metals or other contiminates, it's sold as River cobbler in the supermarkets.

Pangas are teeming with high levels of poisons and bacteria.

Could replace the word 'Panga' with 'Pot Noodle' imo.

PCBs and dioxins are lipophiles, tending to accumulate in oily body parts, such as the liver.

do people really have a pot of tea wi the ole fush n chups? fecking ridiculous imo
