i was buying the pacific cod loin,but once you squeezed the water out there was no taste,this indian halibut is supposed to be fresh,hopefully that means no added water.at 600bht.a kilo i will be expecting something decent,and not have to rely on lenon jus.and salt.

Batter a bit of dory for your fish and chips. It won't taste the same as cod but you're not in Blighty now. Dory isn't expensive and you can buy it frozen. I think CP sell frozen dory fillets, which means it's easily available.

The problem is warm water fish is just not the same a northern or deep atlantic fish somehow.

Nev, its not bad. Weirdly my Mrs seems to do something with salt and carp and it doesn't come out too bad if i'm honest or maybe its just my body's relief at putting something in it which will not make me break out in sweats, pant like a dog and burn on the way out.

Its being sold as Dory in Thailand but in reality is Pangasius which is farm raised and full of god knows what from VietNam. We stopped eating it years ago.

Yep. Crackerjack posted a thread on the subject a week or so ago. Nasty stuff that basa and not particularly tasty, to boot.

The reason is simple the colder the water the more nutrients in the water.

Also, when surface waters are cold, it is easier for deeper water to rise to the surface, bringing nutrients to sunlit areas where phytoplankton can use them. When surface water is warm, cooler, nutrient-rich water is trapped below. Because the vertical layers of the ocean aren't mixing, nutrients that have built up in deep waters can't reach the surface.

The colder the water the tastier the fish typically I have found. That is why Alaskan salmon, halibut and cod is the best eating in the world.

Glad I live in the home port for most of those fishing boats.

Pic Adam PesterThe super-cool Hip Hop Chip Shop will soon be opening their first permanent restaurant in Ancoats, though you can currently find them at MediaCityUK. Treat yourself to a Feastie Boys box with beer battered fish biters, chunky skin-on chips, minty mushy peas and tartare sauce.

Locally sourced potatoes, great curry and gravy options.
