Loved seeing this. Made me yearn for good old English Fish and Chips, though. Over here they par-cook the battered fish then freeze it until needed - and with it not being frozen via a commercial blast freezer, the end product can taste 'off'. No-one in fish shops local to me, cooks from fresh like most UK shops do. So unless I cook fish at home from fresh, we don't get that treat! (and I don't have a fryer, so it has to be baked or pan fried! That is why I love your cooking segments - I can copy the method and recipe!)

As always, an excellent video. It is different to your norm, but it is essential to use as much of the resource as possible. We owe it to the fish, ourselves and the environment

Yes, I admit it ! I v bone cod,pollack etc, not pretty but quick. I do advocate cooking any fish you have a utensil big enough for, whole. What makes filleting more interesting is to do it in the way back to harbour as we used to when I used to go boat fishing. Come on, get yer man to do us a few spurdog ! This is one of the best tutorials I have seen.
