Advantages: cheap

Disadvantages: a little bland

Overview
------------
Tescos river cobler is a good alternative to cod or haddock. It is sold all over the country and is available with various free coatings. I really like this fish because it is sustainable and cheap - it is however a little less tasty t(han cod or haddock.

Price
------
Fish prices vary according to weight but a reasonable sized piece will cost between £1 and £2 (around one third less than cod or haddock). I think this is really reasonable for the quality of the fish.

Choice
---------
You can have the river cobbler either smoked or unsmoked. I prefer the smoked as the unsmoked is a little bland (although thats just my preference)
Tesco will also give you any spice topping for free which is well worth a try.

Overall
---------
I have seen so many people buying this type of fish in Tesco which is great. It is really adaptable in terms of cooking - bake it, fry it, poach it. You can also freeze it and it'll defrost fine. My favourite way to cook it is with some sauteed potatoes and salad. Overall i love this new fish and will buy it over and over (obviously until something better comes along!)

Summary: great fish on the cheap
