Two chunky bits, baked with a chilli jam topping for tea. Yum, Yum. One big fillet in the freezer for another day, and the tail bit and a trimming off the side in a bag to go with some other fish tails/bits in the freezer for a pie.
This nice long bit of cod was also just over £5, divided into 4 portions ready for meals next week. last time I got haddock so cod is a nice change. Also brought some expensive but giant prawns (£14 a kilo) as I love prawn dishes for the lighter meals of warm days (could they hurry up and come?). I got some smoked mackerel too as someone was saying it was good for arthritis sufferers like my husband.
I usually spend £15 to £20 on each visit to the fish market as it is a round trip of 12 miles and we combine the drive with other tasks to make it worth while. It is less expensive that the supermarket and I can chop it up to our size portions rather than buy ready portioned. Also the guy knows me now and that I will buy a big fillet and not mess around with "bits" so I think he is a bit generous too!
Are you a fish lover?
I love fish and would eat it many times a week, hubby is OK once or twice a week. I always buy wet fish.
ReplyDeleteI have never found frozen fish you buy in supermarkets a bit tasteless?
DeleteI love fish and salmon is probably my favourite.... and rainbow trout
ReplyDeleteOh never tried that. Will look out for some.
DeleteI make a weight watchers smoked makeral pate and it's lovely. We have it on dry toast with salad.
ReplyDeleteI love fish but my hubby only likes it battered and fried! he usually has a pork steak or similar when I have fish, Salmon fillet topped with a poached egg is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWe split meals over liver!
DeleteHubby and I love fish but our son was never that keen, but now he has moved out we buy more we usually find plenty in the reduced section, yours were a good buy, enjoy.
