Lesser spotted dogfish is a pain in the backside to most anglers. However, despite the fact that the skin is hard to get off, is one of the tastiest fish in the sea. Totally sustainable by the sheer volume of them and no small bones in them. All it takes is one of the TV chefs to make it flavour of the month and we won’t get enough of it.
I loved Huss. Just a big bone down the middle, I seem to recall.
Stopped going to Bankers. Cod portion was shaped like a fish finger. When I complained was told all portions are same weight.The answer is Cod unless you're some type of Northern monkey.
Bankers do the best fish and chips in the people's republic of Brighton and Hove.
No restaurant, no matter how expensive, do better fish and chips than a proper fish and chip shop.
These are simple facts of life
Had a decent huss on a fishing trip last week…….delicious. Almost meaty texture and agree re lack of bones. I use pliers for skinning
That would have been Brakes Brothers cash and carry rubbish for tourists. Should have gone to the Lighthouse in Mount Pleasant. Top class line caught Haddock.
Pat and Tush's fish rolls. Quite famous in the town.
Whiting and Gurnard also delicious imo and currently plentiful as are Pouting albeit the latter don’t lend themselves quite as well to battering as the first two.
100% The f n c industry plus commercial fishers that source fish for them maintain they supply those 5 cos that’s what the public wants, but as most of the public lack the means/interest to obtain other species then they are completely at the mercy of what is sold at f n c outlets. If there was a shift to more prevalent but equally as ‘tasty’ fish then eventually most people would just accept it. However any fish species that suddenly attains culinary popularity has risks of being over exploited unless methods used to capture them are sustainable and their stocks closely monitored. Think I’m right in saying that as an Island nation we export more fish/shellfish caught in UK waters than we consume here!
Hi, Dave!
Agree Lexden but went to Trawlers last week. New owners? Had Haddock and Plaice. They were both fine
Could be, they let me down several times in a row and when I complained the manager (older white guy, thinning hair) he got arsey.
