Birds Eye Simply Cod Fillets

Normally I am not really a fan of fish. When I worked at sea we had an arrangement. I would not eat them if they did not eat me. However not back living on dry land I have thrown that agreement out the window and have started to delve in to the murky world of battered fish. Probably my favourite is fish fingers but I have now moved onto other battered fish based products such as the birds eye simply cod range.

A bit about Birds Eye

Bird Eye is an international brand of frozen food stuff that include fish, chicken and meat. The fish side of the business is famously represented by Captain Birds Eye in the UK. The company was founded in 1929 and was made possible at the time by modern refrigeration techniques.

About the product

Birds Eye simply Cod fillets come in boxes of four. The box is predominately blue in colour with a picture of two fillets accompanied by two salad leaves and a slice of lemon. I am pleased to say that the frozen fillets do resemble the fillets pictured on the box.

Price

I have notice the price of this product has reduced in the past six months. Currently a four pack in Tesco costs £3.54. Its also worthwhile checking Iceland as they often have this product on sale at the best price.

Nutrition

For each fillet you will receive 1030KJ, 245 Kcal, 15g of protein, 17 g of carbohydrates,13g of Fat of which 1.8 is saturates.

My opinion

I have to say that I am quite a fan of this product. I did read the other review about their being bone issues but thankfully I have not experienced this. This size of the fillets are normally always of a pretty good and uniform size and the breadcrumb coats the fish on all sides.

The fish itself tastes very good and is lovely with a drop of vinegar and some chips. The breadcrumbs probably make this fish not as healthy as it could be. That being said its still a lovely product and forms part of a very tasty meal. Plus its oven cooked in 30 minutes so it does not take too much effort to make.
