I went out for a meal recently and ordered Cod & Chips and I wasn't sure whether it was actually Cod or not , Do you believe it was Cod ?

 

 

 

I think locally it is called Dory.

On your Pike mate, looks like Cod to me 

Cod in Chiang Mai? Sounds fishy to me.

I don't think this will make it for 700 pages like the "Do you believe in God?" thread.....

 

But, who knows? People might keep posting just for the halibut.

Well they are in the right plaice.

 

I wish I had a squid for every comment in that thread.

 

 

It would be a long swim...I'm skeptical

If it is Cod , it will be Pacific Cod , processed in China,

Atlantic Cod is just too expensive to used in fish & Chips,

here. but looks good ,nice batter and decent chips.

No, I think it will flounder well before that.

Very reasonably priced as well , 60 Baht for the Fish & Chips and he also sells pickled onions for 15 Baht each

Possibly...

 

But in the meantime we're having a whale of a time.

In the off-chance that the OP wasn't simply angling for a laugh-in.

 

Cod that goes from sea to table without freezing has a very defined flaky texture. When frozen, ice crystals develop in the flesh, when thawed that makes the fish mushy. In the picture posted the flesh is definitely mushy. Which doesn't answer the question. A price of 60Baht does.

I'll need some time to mullet over.

The owner does have the reputation of being a bit of a scamp as well , he used to make shark fin soup using shark fat .

 

 

What a load of pollocks

Looks like some kind of liquid injected fish, but not sure. Did it taste like chicken?

Nope....

 

I said whale on porpoise, knowing it was a mammal.

This piece of cod passeth all understanding, and a whale is not a fish: it is an insect (p, Cook)

Haddock, Pollack, and Hake are similar in texture and have been used as substitutes for cod, and Pollack is much cheaper.

 

If you find out the answer, please minnow ????

I did ask the owner how comes the fish seems to have a lot of water in it and he told me "Of course it has , its been in sea for the last few years "

  Fair enough, I suppose

Just being koi.

I am pretty sure that ALL the cod served in most restaurants or chippies has been frozen but is very rarely 'mushy'.

Pah there is no Cod its  all  a  load of religious  nonsense????
