it was the supermarkets solution for a cheap cod substitute

Well, Burtons - I'm giving 'em an extra 10mins in the oven ... just in case.

Chips and minty peas are good to go

I've drowned the feckers in vinegar and they taste ok.

^ the catfish.

No muddy taste, which can be typical of fresh water fish.

Imo not unlike plaice even though they are Vietnamese catfish.I like them grilled in breadcrumbs.

Had smoked hadok in parsley sauce earlier and it was delicious.

Had some Haddock as well

we're having some cod, I thought people having fish on a Friday was a dying trend

Well, I must admit the catfish was jolly delicious and the fillets had much more meat to them than your standard issue McCains, Bird's Eye, et al breadcrumbs / batter with a wee sliver of fish that seems to be the norm these days.

I won't buy them again - now that I know their history but, they were tasty.

I live by the River Tay and I'm a-gonna go fishing for some proper Salar tomorrow.

... unless I have to visit the loo in less than 15 hour's time

I've been eating fish of a Friday since I was knee high to a grasshopper.
