Unfortunately it tries to kill you. It is seriously hard to eat. Full of 1.5 cm bones and filleting would be close to impossible as bones stick out along the plane of a fillet.
I got a bone stuck in my throat and resisted the temptation to gag or cough. Got it down with the fried new potato.
You could not serve it to anyone, really, at a social event. You have to use fingers.
Flip side is it was bloody lovely with a bit of lemon juice. Like a cross between cod and skate in terms of texture.
Doesn't look great cooked, either. A veritable British oddball of a fish!

Had a nice piece of fresh cod, pan fried in a small amount of olive oil, with a small amount of salt, pepper, garlic, ginger and paprika. Served it with mash and mixed veg. Was v nice, enough left over for tomorrow. Thankfully, no bones.
Looks good, Justers - like yer spuds! But I can also see what you mean by the bones:eek:
Probably one you'd need to get the tweezers out and pluck before cooking... I suspect too much of a ball-ache to buy again?

Your a brave man Justin getting that down your neck!
Looks lovely, so much easier to eat bony fish with your fingers.
The bones and inability to fillet is why it isn't popular I guess as it does taste good. Fish curry with it would have been inedible in retrospect.Quote:

Might be better baked. Turning it over in the pan just ruffles up the bones!
You're not wrong, Jim:D
Wonder if that was the same sort of fish that choked the queen mother? Love the idea of a roastie solving the choking on a bone eeh it made me laugh.
T'was a bit of Scottish Salmon :DQuote:
