Would you eat MORE fish if bones weren't an issue?

[Colossal Squid]

Does tinned tuna count?

Not really.

Although I do wish you could dice up and tin more fish. I'd love to be able to just tuck into a load of bone free bream straight from a can

In the 60s there was a superb fish and chip shop in Waterloo Street that offered fish cooked in kosher matzo meal breadcrumbs. Happy days.

Look across the North Sea and our Scandinavia Dutch and German neighbours can't get enough herring. I love it too, We are quite squeamish about fish considering we are an island with fantastic cold water fish.

Remember fishing in Spain, deepish sea, but getting nothing all day, so literally dredged in the boat back to port and caught about 20 mackerel. Within an hour they were on the barbie. You can't buy flavour and moments like that.

I have Skate, well Wray really, about once a fortnight from Marinos and that being my favourite fried fissh the bones dont worry me. I do occasionally have cod fillet and very occassionally Bass so bones arent a problem. Do not like flat fish like Plaice Lemon Sole etc or Huss. Love all seafood especially Squid.Jellied Eels etc.

As an angler I will not eat any ray/skate whatsoever. It really is an ethical issue for me, and I don't really do a lot of ethics! I always return these beautiful creatures to the sea as I cannot justify eating on only 20-25% and throwing the rest in the bin, just wrong in my opinion. I am not judging as I probably have plenty of traits that others do not agree with, but I do believe that people should understand the wastage with these species.

I love fish and we eat it regularly - particularly smoked haddock and river cobbler. If price is a barrier then try river cobbler - smoked or unsmoked - nice and meaty and no bones. I love a kipper but then we come back to the bone issue ......

EDIT - oh mackerel, love it smoked and peppered.

Nope, I love fish.

Bones are / are not an issue with some fish but to be honest I would buy / eat more if it wasn't so expensive.

Costwise, take out the less healthy farmed fish and it is not an everyday meal for a lot of people.

Sounds a bit trampy, but always look at the out of dates that have like 30% off, I regularly do!

Love fish, got about 7 different types in freezer etc, eat it 3 or 4 times a week.

CostCo Cod Loins

Iceland currently have 2Kg bags of Cod loins for just £8 they look really white and meaty.. I just have to look up ways to cook them

Presumably the Iceland fish is frozen, which, in my opinion takes away a lot of the taste and texture.

I simply season the cod loins with salt and pepper, spray oil into a large frying pan and cook for two minutes a side. Serve with sweet potato fries (again sprayed with oil and cooked in the oven)

Answer.... I eat fish anyway because I am not a 6 year old who needs help with his knives and forks.

Has anybody tried Dried Salted Cod seen it advertised in shops but never tried it.

Tried it in Portugal years ago when I stayed at a mates house. Was excellent.
Tried it again here prepared by me. Was shit.

I consume around 5 small tins of Mackerel a week. In the brine rather then oil. Bloody love it.

This is the real issue, fish is quite expensive and chicken is so tasty

I found river cobbler to be almost tasteless, cheap but not worth the money.

That said, I really don't like any fresh water fish.

That pack gives 4 x 250g servings, which are quite big at £3 each. A lot less than you would pay in a fish & chip shop, for example.

I like fishy fingers.
