Thanks Diane for that recipe - it does sound lovely! Will try that recipe next time I have fresh fish! Jan

You can't beat good old fried fish. Put 3 small bowls out put plain flour with salt and pepper in 1st one - 2nd a little milk - 3rd breadcrumbs dip fish in flour then milk then b/crumbs then shallow fry oh add some chips mmmm! Norah

I would just like to have a Cod fillet !!! Oh I am green with envy!!!! Can't get Cod here unless it's Salt Cod !!!! Jacquie xxxxx

Hi Jan, usually we cook cod one of two ways, 1. dip in milk with salt & pepper, put in shallow greased glass pan and cover with crushed up (salt & vinegar chips) 2. also use shallow glass pan, sprayed with cooking oil. place fish in pan. Mix can of cream of mushroom soup with about 1/2 can of milk. or other cream soup (ie: cream celery, cream broccoli). Place in middle of oven at 350 and bake for about 20 minutes. Good luck Best wishes Deb

Hi Jan, I don,t. I just go down to the local Chippie and get it from there,They buy straight from the Beach in the morning,and you can,t get fresher than that. Hal. ( I live on the Coast )

I usually skin the fillet, dip it in egg (complete egg whisked) then roll it in bread crumbs, better if you put a couple of pieces of bread in the oven, 1 wholemeal, 1 white, place on a tray and bake in the oven, serve with new potatoes, peas or green beans, a squeeze of lemon juice or slice of lemon. Len Ex navy mess cook, the one where if you wanted a cake you baked the bugger. PS its nice with whiting or Bream

Hi I've just noticed the other new postings after my last reply! Thanks everyone for responding! I usually just go to the local chippie for fish and chips, but decided it would be healthier if I bought fresh fish! Very nice it was too! Jan

Len, sorry but I don't get the bread in the oven part of your recipe for fish. Could you clarify for this dumbo please? My son when small loved fish (still does) and as we had a wet fish shop nearby, I often bought him a piece of cod and just popped it under the grill for him and served it with carrots, sweetcorn and peas, as he wasn't keen on potatoes. This was from the age of about 3 and he had this a couple of times a week, from choice, for several years. I like salmon fillets wrapped in foil with a dot of butter, or cream cheese with garlic, they cook very quickly and are scrummy. Don't ask for temp etc - I think I usually do them on about gas 5 till they look done, depends on thickness of fillets.

Just saw Jeannettes response to my posting ............. may I just say ................. :-P :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I'm not a big fish fan but I don't mind this recipe. Put in a shallow pyrex dish, sprinkle with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Spoon on some salsa and top with parmesan. Bake in the oven until done. Rose
