River Cobbler, What's Your Views On This Fish?

[RATTER15]

There as been a lot of controversy about this fish. I stopped eating it a couple of years ago but started eating it again now, its a reasonably tasty bit of fish at a fair price.

I don't know anything about a controversy but was served it once and I wouldn't want to eat it again. A poor man's smoked haddock.

[ummmm]

I wouldn't touch it.

I read about it, and I also read the counterargument, but I couldn't get the first thoughts out of my head.

The consensus of opinion is that it is ok but not to be eaten too often.

[jackthehat]

We love it.
Also sold as 'Basa' fillets; it can be smoked or unsmoked.
It can be grilled, fried or baked and is just as tasty whether plain or cooked with a sauce/crust.

The sources are far more trustworthy than they used to be....

I love it especially 'smoked' versions, It has a texture similar to Black Halibut without the saltiness. I find the best way to cook it is to poach it in a liitle milk in the microwave for just a couple of minutes.Serve buttered. Makes great 'unsalty' kedgeree
