Birds Eye Seaside Specials in Crispy Batter

I am regularly on the lookout for frozen fish based products, as my partner really enjoys this type of meal, being the huge fan of seafood that he is! It was whilst I was in my local 'Farmfoods' frozen food store that I noticed a box of fish by Bird's Eye. It appeared to be a new product, or it was new to me anyway, as the 'Seaside Specials' range by Birds Eye is one that I have not encountered before. The box had a picture of two 'fillets' of white fish that were contained in a crispy batter type of coating. It all looked pleasant enough, and as I was planning to make 'Fish and chips' for our evening meal later in the week, I opted to give these ...  Read the complete review

Birds Eye is a famous brand that has been established for years. When i saw these in the supermarket, i had no doubts these would be good because of other items i'd had before. As usual im on a diet and wanted fish and chips without resorting to the chippy so had some of these with mccain rustic chips and tinned marrowfat peas. What Birds Eye say: 2 seaside specials natural fillets in crispy batter. How much and where from? These cost me £1.99 for 2 medium sized fish fillets (240g). I bought these from Tesco. Other supermarkets sell them too and you can get these in a 4 pack for £3.99 Cooking: Place on a baking tray and ...  Read the complete review

***What Is This Product? *** First of all, this is not cod. Birds Eye are known for their fish products and I have always associated them with cod fish fingers and frozen, crumbed covered cod portions. This is pollock and it isn't what I expected from a manufacturer with such a good reputation. Pollack, or pollock (both are correct) is a type of fish from two distinct species. It is also known as coley, or Boston blue fish and is a much cheaper and more available alternative to cod. Pollock is supposed to be a white fish but it is a strongly flavoured one. In UK it has traditionally been seen as the poor man's alternative to cod and ...  Read the complete review

I've been buying this fish for the last few weeks because it's on offer at 2 packets for £2. Usually this retails at £1.79 for a packet of two portions of battered fish. I would find this quite expensive for just two portions. Birds Eye is a renowned make for fish products and the name attaches itself to a quality standard of fish. I have always grown up thinking this was the best fish you can buy, and whilst I know it's not necessarily the case, I do like to buy their products when the price is right. The packaging comes in the form of cardboard boxes with pictures of the fish on the outside with the captain Birdseye. Most Birdseye packaging ...  Read the complete review

Birds Eye Seaside Specials This is a relatively new product from Birds eye and in my opinion is one of their tastiest. Seaside specials are frozen fish in crispy batter and are marketed to taste just like fish from a seaside chip shop. Now I wont pretend that they taste like the chip shop but they are not bad at all. The specials come in a blue coloured box with a picture of the seaside and fish and chips wrapped in newspaper. This had my mouth watering to start with. Each box contains two fish and the box costs approx £1.99 depending on when bought. I purchased my box for £1 introductory offer from Tesco. The taste of the fish is great. ...  Read the complete review
