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

Hey, My polish friend just called you out for that one.

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. 

regards Worgeordie

Correct. I would put my money on it being Vietnamese catfish, Basa or Tra, which is used in fish 'n chips the world over. it's the most popular and cheapest fish and chip fish on the planet. Mild, flaky and filthy from fish farms in the Mekong River basin. It can be called "Pacific Dory" in SEA. They can get away with calling fish anything they like in Thailand. Imagine the pollution in the Mekong River water by the time it reaches the delta in Vietnam. It's probably some of the most polluted water on earth. I won't touch it.

Was economical getting imported "Cod, Haddock and Plaice" to grace the first Fish and Chip shop in Saudi Arabia back in the 80's.

 

Perhaps Dee's Fish and Chips get substantial discounts for bulk.

I believe in Cod. Since a small child I have always believed in Cod. I got a little confused when I found out that Santa was dead, but my faith in Cod is undiminished.

Bloody eel , this is getting ridiculous 

[ehs818]

Most likely it's NOT cod, or even dory. It's pangasius from Vietnam. I don't eat that as I don't want to ingest any Agent Orange.

I hope they are posting in the right Plaice.

I found out when I was about 4 Santa was dad.

No big flakes of meat, so it's not cod. The flesh looks more like pangasius to me, a farmed catfish also known (romantically, lol) as Pacific Dory, and very cheap and easy to find here in Thailand. Nothing wrong with it either, I often eat it.

 

If you want to eat really good fish, though, Friendship in Pattaya (I know, not easy to get to from CM) has a range of top quality imported deep sea fish from New Zealand. They're not cheap, but the fish is wonderful. Maybe you can find them in a local farang-oriented supermarket in CM?

I go along with Rowan Atkinson when he said in the comedy, 'Cod will have to wait for their own convention.'

Ask to see the cod tongues, if they have them it's real, if not, not.

Dolly sounds a bit effeminate to me. I prefer Hunky Dory myself.
