CATCH OF THEDAY

CAST YOUR NET A BIT WIDER FOR FISH DISHES WITH OUR HELP

Young’s Gastro 2 Sweet Chilli Basa Fillets £2, Asda

GOOD quality fish for the price. Succulent and with a light coating of sweet chilli. We liked the no-fuss cooking but were expecting a spicy kick.

Verdict: Would have scored higher with abit more chilli

Our Best Ever Fishcake (2) £5, Marks & Spencer

CHUNKY numbers with a good crunchy coating and bursting with moist, fresh fish that cooked perfectly. But we think someone forgot to put any seasoning or cheese in the ones we tried.

Verdict: In desperate need of seasoning

The Best Lobster, Crayfish & British Crab Mac and Cheese (700g), £7, Morrisons

A GREAT mix of textures and flavours. We loved the crispy topping and perfectly cooked pasta and sauce, packed with a generous amount of tasty lobster.

Verdict: Delicious all-in-one meal The Tasty Catch Co Tempura Batter Fish Burgers (£1.39, pack of 2), Aldi

WITH claims that it tastes just like the Mcdonald’s version, Aldi’s is made using a 100% fish fillet seasoned in a crispy tempura batter coating. Verdict: A nice option for those missing takeaway treats

Finest Lemon Sole Goujons (200g)

£3.50, Tesco

COOKED evenly but we struggled to get any decent flavours from either the fish or breadcrumbs, which were supposed to have a subtle lemon and parsley flavour. So subtle we missed it.

Verdict: Bland

Smoked Haddock and Mature Cheddar Melting Middle Fishcakes (270g), £3, Co-op

GOOEY cheese with onions oozed out of the centre and there was a distinct haddock taste. Although the breadcrumb coating was thick and chewy, the centrepiece was packed with flavour.

Verdict: Cheesy and tasty

Taste the Difference Melt in the Middle Cod Fishcakes with Creamy Parsley Sauce (290g)

£2.50, Sainsbury’s

Scrumptious sauce and a crispy coating add texture to the delicately seasoned cod, which made for a light but filling fishcake. Verdict: Well balanced combo

Lighthouse Bay Haddock Goujons in Panko Crumb (200g) £1.99, Lidl

THE Japanese-style crumb made with white bread gave these a light-as-a-feather coating but they lacked flavour. Verdict: Boring

Birds Eye Seeded Artisan Style Fish Fillets (250g) £1.75, Sainsbury’s

DELICIOUSLY moist pollock encrusted with seven seeds and grains, such as pumpkin and quinoa, for a lovely crunchy coating.

Verdict: Fish with flair
