Interestingly, the Iceland ones come in at £2.50 for an equivalent of 500g, and Youngs come in at £3.75 for an equivalent of 500g. So the ASDA ones (surprisingly?) end up being the cheapest based on weight alone.

That's exactly what I thought. Because the Iceland were also 50 p a fish but the Asda had an extra fish for 30 odd p more. But baldie said Iceland is the cheapest. I thought what?? That's not right. When I calculated you can clearly see how much it is per kg by dividing the price by the grams then multiplying by 1000. On a side note. That's how I shop. ( Comparing price per kg) for a completely fair comparison. Baldie: maths not your strongest subject buddy ? 😂

Gareth , I noticed that all of the fish are pollack and presumably, going by their uniform size and thickness, they’re all of the chopped and shaped style of presentation. Personally I prefer to have haddock in batter and in the thicker cut style even if it means that none of the pieces of fish are the same dimensions as the others in the same packet. It’s the size and definition of the flakes of flesh that definitely makes for a satisfying meal for me. Aldi, Morrisons and Youngs all produce their own chunky haddock portions, although you do have to search for them to avoid the chopped and shaped ones and they are at times a bit of a rare item as compared to cod or coley or pollack.

Fish is one food where I don't care if it comes processed or not. Don't have an air fryer so would ignore the oven cook instructions (they either stick or the bottom of the batter ends up soggy) and deep fry for 4-5 minutes. Some people might baulk at it being pollock but to be honest its near enough to cod in taste and texture for me.

Personally, if buying these types of frozen fish, I always chose either cod or haddock as they are usually from a sourced fishing area and UK fished, when it says white fish fillet these are usually pollock which can come from Vietnamese river fish and have known to have a very high mercury levels as their rivers are highly contaminated. So, buying cheap is not always a sensible option. Spot on as always fella👍

The best fish is when you buy frozen fish and make your own batter !!!! Pollock is fantastic !!!! I use plain flour, salt ,water and some cornmeal. (not the white Cornflour) It's ground Maize !!! Put salt on the fish and dip it in the Batter, and straight in the fryer !!!!! What I hate about ready battered fish, is that they blast freeze it !!! Then when there is a thick layer of Ice, they dip the fish in batter !!!! So when you deep fry the fish the water escapes and the batter falls off !!! But my own batter sticks to the fish. You can make the batter bubbly by using self raising flour and some vinegar !!!!! But freshly battered fish is infinitely better than frozen fish !!!! You never see a Fish and Chip shop tip their Fish out of a Packet !!!! And I think it's vital to make real chips as opposed to the horrible Frozen Chips !!!! This will taste just as good as a Fish and Chip shop takeaway !!!!

I am not sure why Young's would brand those fish fillets as 'Chip Shop' as I have never in my entire existence seen a Fish and Chip selling Alaskan Pollock. I have seen cod, haddock and plaice, and even queen scallops but never Alaskan Pollock. To be fair if I was going to buy frozen fish, which I do on occasion, I think I would spend the extra pennies and get cod or haddock because that pollock looked absolutely rank.

Pollock is very nice. It's a perfect replacement for overfished Cod. The Young's fish is very good and the batter is outstanding. I never buy anything else other than Youngs, and you cannot taste the difference between their Cod fillets and the Pollock ones.

@@susi-emily I think there are ways of sustaining fish stocks and that these methods should be applied and used. Alaskan pollock may well be plentiful at present but the US also has a factory fishing industry that could endanger fish stocks there too so these things are never as straight forward as they seem. Utilizing US fish stocks merely shifts a general problem with over fishing in the Atlantic to over fishing in the Pacific.

Keep it up mate, I’m loving your channel. As for the fish it doesn’t surprise me that it looks a bit like that because it’s covered by the batter it’s not meant to be on show when it’s on the shelf like a naked filet is so I suspect they use the worse looking ones of the catch to batter and the better looking ones for filets in the fish aisle. Personally we don’t eat battered fish often so when we have it we get youngs because the price difference isn’t a big deal when it’s few and far between but if it was a weekly dinner then we’d have to go for a cheaper option.

Thank you sir, for bringing attention to the fact that many of the cheaper versions are just as good, just as healthy (if not healthier) as the branded ones - simply with less frills or flavourings. If you would like a suggestion from my own testing, as I do a fair bit of these sorts of tests myself, cheap Chicken Curry - Aldi v Tesco v Asda - I believe 75p, 75p, 95p atm. Possibly against a more expensine brand. Can't beat ASDA JE Fish Fingers!

Another great review for the consumer's choice. Yes the cheaper two's flesh was anything but white flesh. If it wasn't for the breading or batter we wouldn't buy it. You can hide all manner of nasties in crumb and batter. I had Hoki fish bites for dinner last night and they were awful 😕👎 and to top it off was they were the most expensive of the range. Just goes to show that price isn't always quality. Cheers Gareth 👍🤤😀

I haven't tried the Asda just essentials ones yet but I have had the smart price ones which were a block of compressed fish mush. It looks like they have changed the recipe to include proper fish and put the price up by a 1/3rd to boot, but they do look bettter.

Another good comparison thank you. Just 1 thing I'd like to ask if you don't mind. When you cook using the air frier, is it possible you could include the settings, time, and temp, as loads of us have air frier now and any help would be great. Cheers norm

Thanks for another good comparison. Just one nitpick though, if you don't mind, with the possible variation in individual fillets.Take the Asda fillet, 118gms. It's one of four fillets in a box of 500gms, so the other three weigh 382gms between them.

The Asda ones are great, the Youngs ones are ok but a lot dearer. Haven't tried the Iceland ones. BTW, Asda Essentials white fish fillets are a huge bag of plain fish but yesterday I steamed one and added it to chopped leek, cheddar cheese & black pepper plus 1 jacket spud, then coated in egg and 1 slice of bread crumbed and made 4 of the best fishcakes I've ever had for about £1.30 and about 30 mins work. I served them with carrots & peas. Delicious!!

I'm going to give it a try today. I will be adjusting by adding in (finely chopped) a few capers, a shallot and a touch of horseradish (for a little bit of 'heat'). Plus baby potatoes on the side, with your suggestion of carrots & peas...👍

I live in Australia and the only comparisons for big chain supermarkets in my state, Queensland, are Coles, Woolworths and Aldi. I find that my weekly shop can average out at 40% cheaper when I shop at Aldi and in fact we prefer the taste and even the quality of Aldi's own brands all except tea and coffee. I think your comparisons are really useful to everyday shoppers that are watching the budget in the U.K but your Dad jokes, oh dear 😉

For me the Youngs are the only fish product that you can really add mushy peas and chips and feel you are eating in a chippy....they also do this with cod but it's even more expensive. Key question I have is: what did you cook them in? Deep Fryer? Air Fryer? That's key because if you deep fried them in a highly processed vegetable oil, (like most restaurants) you are destorying most of the Omega 3 goodness in the fish with Omega 6 rubbish. A real alternatve is to pan fry in olive oil or ghee...that's what we do. There is great stuff all over the internet that backs this up especialliy Dr Eric Berg's work. If it's an air fryer can you let me know the make and Model? Huge thanks. Great presentation, keep up this really important work.

I like salad cream with battered fish but usually I buy frozen Pollack fillets & make a fish pie with green beans & spring greens & sometimes sweetcorn, in a white or sometimes cheese sauce & topped with 2 or 3 veg', out of mashed carrots/swede/butternut/celariac/parsnip. A little grated parmesan or cheddar on top. That way it is a whole nutritious meal, no need to add extra veg & it will last me for several days & is quite healthy. I vary the seasonings at each meal, using herbs, black pepper, lemon etc, so I don't get too bored. I am thinking I might add a little very cheap white wine to the sauce next time, if I can run to it.
