Pollack at £4 per kg how long can they survive?

[hembo]

i think pollack tastes allright

[gannet]

Bagged a pollack a few months ago, asked grandma to make some fish cakes

DAMN THEY WERE GOOD.. dont knock the pollock

Agreed, they are a wonderful fish dish if cooked right. Taste even better when smoked. Local fish merchants fillet skin and smoke them to be sold on as smoked cod. The much maligned coalfish tastes much better smoked. For those who dont know what a pollack diving board is, buy this week's Fishing News for a description and photograph

even pout smoked it good (but bony) i sold my pukka abu smoker when i got a stainless one ,unfortunately my mrs doesent like my smoking efforts so it remains in the shed

we both like smoked mackeral but i think mine taste different ,perhaps its the fact that the fish get too hot in a small smoker ,vastly different to a smoke house where its smoked cooler and longer

the secret for me is a cold smoker bit like a thin tall dustbin ,,,then you cook the fish as normal after wards ,,,,ive done pollack & makeral this way ,,,,,,,,,v ery nice

I could understand it if it was America where they have several types of freshwater bass but we only have one type of bass, don't we!? Unless of course the NFSA know differently?

Hi

 

Why does the naming of bass as "seabass" irritate some people so much.

 

As far as i can tell "bass" is just a local name for the full name "european seabass" (see fishbase link below)

 

so surely the name seabass is applicable, in the same way as "brown trout" could be called trout or "bronze bream" called bream, why does the seabass thing get peopls backs up??

Because we only have one type of bass and it lives in the sea, so anything more than "bass" is superfluous. Countries that have different types of bass, ie; striped bass, large mouth bass etc need the extra word to differentiate between them but as we only have one type, it only needs to be called bass and we know what it is.
