FIRETHORN1   58 #1 Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) I recently tried a fish called Ling. Has anyone ever tried this, or even heard of it? I confess that I'd never even heard of it - and only decided to try it when I saw it recently, on special offer in Morrisons. It looked exactly like cod or haddock, but was literally less than a quarter of the price! I was really impressed by it! It's not quite as firm and flakey as cod - a bit mushier and softer in texture and maybe not quite so good for pan-frying or steaming - but I think it's absolutely brilliant in fish pies, fish stews, fish curries, soups, tacos etc - when mixed with other kinds of fish - or shellfish,   I'd be really interested in hearing what other Sheff foodies have to say ….

zach   234 #3 Posted July 11, 2019 As above, caught a good few and it's very tasty!  I think they are included in the "white fish" category in some shops. I would say... go and buy some, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Arthur Ritus   30 #4 Posted July 11, 2019 Yep very nice in a pie, can be a bit vicious, i remember my dad reaching over a box with one in and it jumped up and bit him, how we laughed, shouldn't be a problem in Morrisons though.  One of the nice things (there are many) of fishing, you eat whatever you catch (more or less - some of the ugliest fish are the tastiest) rather than whats popular, it literally makes me cry when i see dead fish trawled up and thrown back to the seagulls.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
