River Cobbler from Tescos

[rayzorless]

Have been eating River Cobbler from Tescos for Weekend breakfast for a few months now and we love it. Just Googled it to find out more about it and came across some mixed reaction. Anyone like to add a comment

A fish from a river in Vietnam which is apparently one of the most polluted rivers in the world

q73488 It has a mild smoked taste a little milder than smoked haddock (not the dyed rubbish) and no we have had no reaction. PS it does not repeat on you all day

[rayzorless]

PS we have only tried the smoked

BBC Watchdog. Its the first when you google River Cobbler

I've eaten this loads of times and love it! And I agree, it doesn't repeat on you all day long like some fish.

Like they say, if you cant eat this because of that and cant eat that because of this we what can we eat. I suppose its all a matter of taste.

It is also sold in Waitrose. It is called, I think, Basa and is with chilli and lemongrass. It is delicious and I've never suffered any ill effects but I haven't eaten it for some weeks because of the negative publicity. It's getting to the stage where I'm worried about just about everything we eat!

I've also heard it referred to as catfish, I personally really like it.
I like it lightly fried, coated in well seasoned flour, served with new potatoes and seasonal veg. It's not one of those 'fishy' tasting fishes. I've not seen any bad press but just had a look and it's not putting me off.
I would've expected tests etc.... to be carried out before it was sold here in the UK but like I said I really like it.

It's absolutely wonderful, the nearest to smoked black halibut i've tasted. Don't listen to the doom mongers, if you saw how all food is dealt with, you would not eat a thing. Even veg/fruit has had nasties on it and people say that they are 'wholesome' & 'healthy' foods. Eat what you enjoy .
