I tried this one last night with ginger and lemon . Yummy !
I can see this one going on the weekly menu and lots more trips to the fish monger 
Family used to buy from the market and or,fishmongers. One day, we picked up a frozen pack of cod from a super market. What surprised us was that the fish tasted much fresher and was firm when ti was baked. Learnt that it was gutted, cleaned and blast frozen wtihin the trawler. Tried blast frozen prawns and squids as the next step and difference is clear.
Only head to fishmongers for Salmon and few other types but in the main, its blast frozen.
By the way, steamed Sea Bass with herbs and sliced ginger is outstanding. Just gutted but with bones and not filletted.

Yay!!I tried this one last night with ginger and lemon . Yummy !
Unless cought by inshore fishing boats all fish is flash frozen. That includes the fresh fish sold by fishmongers. As they are flash frozen they can sell them as fresh and you can freeze/refreeze them.
Fish placed on ice or in a regrigerator onboard trawlers whether inshore, offshore or deep seas are not flash frozen or blast frozen despite they arriving at markets and at fishmongers frozen solid and kept in chillers along the way and at location. I do however agree that all these fish unless they caught close to markets are brought in frozen.
Blast or flash freezing refers to cold air pushed thru at high speed or introductions of a specific class of referigerant such as liquid nitrogen. Essentially expensive equipment that only trawlers such as factory ships can justify.

you ever been fishing before? what you doing, rods or nets?Just chatting with a mate this morning and we have made plans to go and catch our own when it gets a bit warmer .
Very inland costal though
Cheers Ed
I assumed other than inshore most are factory ships.
I am waiting for flash frozen Hake fillets at around £34 a stone direct from the docks. A large group get together and buy in bulk. £34 was the highest they have paid so no actual guarantees on price. They are the proportionally cheaper fillets as they are the largest ones. Fish shops prefer smaller fillets (so I am told). Either way I am going to have at least 2 stone maybe 3. Should keep me going for while but I have no idea what I will tell the fish lady when she texts me for an order?
