Excellent Gareth! Must get some from Aldi later! Instead of mayonnaise or salad cream I usually use tartare sauce BUT I cut up corniche gherkins and put in for a bit of oomph. Or sometimes I cut up jalapeños and put in for Xtra oomph. I am also with you on your fish philosophy!
I used those to make my own Filet O' Fish, after trying one for the first time from Maccy Dees and being disgusted at how small it was, I used Brioche bun, Cheese slice and Tarter sauce, bloody lovely.
There's a lot of Pollocks talked about white fish. I mean for cods hake, I've haddock nuff about people carping on about it. And if anyone is wondering, no I didn't write this on porpoise. It's just my opinion and I'm not being shellfish. Great review as usual from the codfather!
I think you're right during your summing up at the end. There's very little taste difference between the so called white fish species. By the time it's coated in batter and you've eaten them with your favorite bun, sauces, salads or whatever you'd be stumped to tell them apart. Cod is more expensive than the others so it isn't used in so many fish products these days unless it's stated as so. I've always enjoyed eating battered white fish with a buttered roll.
I find pollock a bit sweeter than cod. When I make fish finger sandwiches I adapt the mayo for each - capers or a bit of lemon juice added for cod, tomato ketchup added for the meatier tasting haddock, and mayo with a dash of Chinese five spice balances the slight sweetness of pollock.
As I have said before. Pollock is a member of the Cod genus, so they are similar in texture but Cod has the strongest flavour. Coming from a fish monger family, I think Pollock is very underrated. I can't really think of a fish I don't like, except maybe Basa and that's mainly down to where they come from, which is usually from highly polluted rivers like the Mekong. British fishing areas have been over fished by EU trawlers since the 70's they tend to use beam trawling methods which rip up the sea bed and destroy breeding grounds. You only need to look at how many fishing fleets have given up due to costs. Anyway back to these fish burgers. I like the look of them, they are a good size and the batter looks really to my liking. Hopefully people realise that beer isn't added to flavour the batter, it's just added to aerate the batter. The fact they are not proper fillets doesn't bother me, as long as they are well filled. A new item goes onto my shopping list. 👌👌👍👍👌👌.
It's my 51st birthday today, Gareth, so for a BFG-inspired treat I had a 'Fish & Chip Friday' with some scampi, chips and garden peas from my nearest (semi-posh) chippy on the Bail in Lincoln on a beautiful summer day. Got them home and supplied my own tartare sauce and fresh squeezed lemon juice - fantastic stuff😋 51? Felt nowt!👍
Hi Gaz, been buying them for ages now they are good value and tasty I eat mine in buns as well. They also do others, southern fried in breadcrumbs, hot and spicy in breadcrumbs and buttermilk in breadcrumbs all very tasty 10/10 for me, you should try the others.
These fish burgers are very good. There's a choice between beer battered, tempura, and southern fried. My favourite is the tempura, but they are all good. Pollock is a sustainable fish and we should badger chippies to sell it alongside cod and haddock. EDIT: I forgot that these burgers are also available with a buttermilk batter.
A few years ago my local chippy tried using Pollock but it just didn't sell so they stopped. I used to choose it as it was quite a bit cheaper but it seemed that I was in a minority
@@exileinderby51 But now, with prices of fried cod or haddock being what they are, chippies might try again to push pollock. I'm sure they could knock 2 quid off the price of fish & chips, maybe even £2.50. I now pay £9 for cod & chips locally, no mushy peas. £6.50 instead could attract pensioners and others on low income back into the fish & chip shops.
@@robertsmelt6638 What was the response? Perhaps customers are afraid that some chippies might pass off pollock as cod. Chippies need to be quite open about it. Make a point of advertising pollock as an alternative to cod or haddock, and ensure it's really fresh and fried nicely. But let customers choose the more expensive fish if they want to. As soon as customers try pollock, they will come back. After all, Gareth often reviews Alaskan pollock in the form of fillets, burgers or fingers and he always gives a thumbs up taste-wise.
Put one of these into a roll with loads of lettuce, tomatoes, onions and sauce and you've got a very healthy, tasty snack! I'm not sure how much a cafe or restaurant would charge for one of these but you just know that it wouldn't be cheap!! 😆
Nice one Gareth, can't beat a fish burger for a change. Just as you like it a bit of mayo or salad cream as it is no grass cuttings ,great alternative to a fish finger butty. Great tasty video mate keep on chomping😋👍👍👍
After having seen your pollock fillets video, I also bought them and thought they were really nice. Four for £2.35 is a good price. I'll have them again. It'll be cheaper to put those on a bun than the ones you're showing today.
I love your honesty " it all tastes the same in your mouth 😂😂" ,you're just like me put it on a bun or piece of bread 🍞 😂😊. All the best mate 👍 from kirkby,Liverpool Liverpool
They looked perfect for a brioche bun, I’ll have to try it. I’m not all that fussy with my fish. My favourite is Coorong Mullet, native to South Australia, with beer batter, nothing better.
Great video Gareth , and on point about the different fish . The frozen pollock you'll find they vary with the seasons , sometimes you get thicker fillets but less or more of the thinner fillets, so there's no set size . Next time you use them fillet burgers ; Put some wasabi mayo with some capers on a bun base , ( optional cheese slice ) then some rocket leaf , sprinkle smoked paprika on the fillet and a squeeze of lemon juice . Those big punchy flavours sing out with the fillet and easy on the calories , and you have an award winning sandwich 😋 .
Like you, I always toast my buns on the inside. I once bought some salad cream that had dill in (and possibly cucumber), put that on the bottom, then the fish, a slice of cheese, and then tartare sauce on the top half of the bun. 😋 Could you taste the beer, Gaz?
Eat pollock all the time,cheaper so you can eat more! Try mixing a couple of teaspoons of English mustard in your mayonaise jar! Wow factor 10 yum yum 💪
I know you don't like trawls but has to be said it looked like you really enjoyed the Pollak burgers. I had my eye on the buns, and salad cream on them too - lovely job.
Hi there and have a great video like always. Will enjoy watching your channel think you’re great and what you do. Keep up the good work and I hope you’re well. Can’t wait to see the next one
What a load of old Pollocks! Great video as always Gareth. I do get the impression there is a certain amount of snobbery regarding pollock, nothing wrong with the flavour in my opinion.
Hey Gaz👍hope you're well buddy, they look pretty good mate. I think you're right regarding sustainability if we can vary what we have though cost plays an important part of that. Love a fish burger mate and brioche buns are great. Nice one mate, take care cheers✌️🍻
Great review as ever Gaz. Sustainability is important. I’ve fished for and caught and cooked and eaten pollock. Lovely meaty fish almost like a good cod. I’m going to get them. Mind you I’d only eat one burger with a few chips. 😊
They look pretty decent. I wish the McDonalds Fillet-o-fish were sized like this. Those things are so thin there’s barely any room for the fish between the batter.
Pollock belongs to the cod family. I have a fake McDonald's with these, a fake fillet of fish with a bit of sandwich spread ,lettuce and cucumber serve with chips and chicken nuggets all oven baked of course. Love the video Gareth xx
Deffo, nothing wrong with Pollack. Its a member of the Cod family and tastes the same. If people ate more pollack it would give cod a chance to rebuild its numbers imo
Hi Gareth from Spain. Today, we had home-made fish cakes using cod fillet. She Who must Be Obeyed and her mother have theirs with mayo and salad. I like mine with lemon juice and bread and marge (Flora.) All nice and healthy. maybe you weren't ripped off today but you were paying the same price for the batter as you were for the fish. It's a pity you didn't manage to evaluate the fish without the batter so that you could get a better idea of the value.
Another great review Gareth. They look great cooked. Lovely crispy batter. Totally agree with your summing up statement. When you’re battering a fillet of fish, seasoning, putting it between bread and adding condiments then the purity of the fish taste disappears so battered pollock bap isn’t going to taste the same as say, a steamed fillet. Personally, haddock or hake are my favourite out of the cod family but all these fish are quite bland anyway which is why they go with strong flavours. Quite thought provoking too. Love salad cream! I’d get a slice of processed burger cheese on that bad boy mate. And I’d have top bun ketchup and bottom bun some kind of mayo, tartare or salad cream! Enjoy the weekend everyone.
Asda just essentials do Alaska pollock fillets 500g for £2.35 Breaded or Battered. You will see it in the frozen section. This is a better quality product than the Aldi Battered fillets you reviewed last week.
Hi Gaz. You look like a fella who likes Chicken Kievs (correct me if I'm wrong !) Have you ever done a Chicken Kiev comparison video - Fresh v Frozen, Asda v Aldi etc ?
Hi Gareth, they look really good and a good price, I'm not to keen on Pollack or Basa fish but I might give these a go. I went to Aldi this morning as it's just reopened but it was packed and we couldn't get parked so we came away
Wow! An Aldi product that doesn't say new! Aldi fish is usually very good! If you have a fan oven you have an air fryer! Can't beat a fish butty when you're shit faced on a Saturday night! Haddock is the best along with Coley - which beats Cod anyday!
I buy the chunky cod fillets from Marks & Spencer or the Asda & tesco makes are lovely.I do insist on cod,I’m a bit silly I know but it has to be cod lol
They looked good gareth, I do like a bit of battered fish, I'm actually having haddock fillets in batter wth fries tonight, only the freezer variety, but needs must lol!
T'how do spot on! I haven't bought or tried these for simple reason they're the exact same fish you get in the Aldi everyday essentials breaded fish at £2.49 (4pk) you buy these ones & stick them on a muffin with salad tartar sauce or nice with sweet chilli sauce. Only difference is the coating, did you actually taste beer in the batter?
We ,that is me, favours salad cream as opposed to mayonaise and I also like salad cream on fruit, mango and papaya and also pineapple out of our garden. Best wishes Don and family ( Thailand )
That’s a load of Pollocks between the breadcrumbs Gareth. They look mighty good mate! Brilliant recommendation. I have to say, enjoy cooking, love fish and seafood and Haddock is the main fish of choice in Scotland 🏴 it’s the tastiest in batter!
Meant to ask this a while ago…but what is the difference between cooking in the Sage Air fryer oven, and Ninja air fryer ? Does the same job doesn’t it ?
Why did you cook the fillets for 17 mins instead of the recommended 25-28 mins? Does that mean that if the recommended temp and time is followed, then the fillets would have been overcooked/burnt?
I saw these in Aldi the other day but I have a small freezer and had other plans for the space left. I'll get these when I make space as they'd be perfect for my small air fryer. I only skipped them as I have 2 packs of fish fingers and some fish cakes 😀 Haddock tends to be a bit too strong flavour for me so Pollock is a nice alternative to Cod and from what Pollock I've had, it tends to have a little stronger flavour than Cod to me. Great vlog as usual, thank you, Richy 😀👍
Every time I've had pollock it's always grey, it really puts me off, so when I buy battered fish, it's got to say cod or haddock on it. You've been very jammy having white pollock! Going funny in my ol age!
I really like those, I put plastic cheese and tartare sauce in the bun and it’s as good, if not better than a fillet o fish and a fraction of the cost😉
They looked great! You can't beat _proper_ fish and chips, but the prices at some places (like that gaff in The Lakes) has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. It was good of you to review the inexpensive chippy as well (I won't say cheap, because there's a world of difference between _"cheap"_ and inexpensive - if you get what I mean). They way things are going, you'll need to pay in real gold doubloons for a fish supper soon! These fish burgers will make for an _inexpensive_ "Take In". Keep up the great work mate, God bless. 👍
I've been buying Youngs fish burgers for ages ..I'll try these .. but try this in your bun with the fish burger ,, a bit of shredded lettuce , tartar sauce and a slice of processed cheese and you've got a McDonald's Filet o Fish 😋
Hi BFG - can't beat a bit of tartare but also go balls in and use some ceaser sauce which has a hint of italian cheese - it aint easy being cheesy but this does work well with fish.
Excellent Gareth! Must get some from Aldi later!
Instead of mayonnaise or salad cream I usually use tartare sauce BUT I cut up corniche gherkins and put in for a bit of oomph. Or sometimes I cut up jalapeños and put in for Xtra oomph.

I'm glad you avoided any green vegetable contaminants! 😂
Haha yes
I dislike beer but if it was normal fish I'd love it lol , as always fab review
They looked great! You can't beat _proper_ fish and chips, but the prices at some places (like that gaff in The Lakes) has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. It was good of you to review the inexpensive chippy as well (I won't say cheap, because there's a world of difference between _"cheap"_ and inexpensive - if you get what I mean).
They way things are going, you'll need to pay in real gold doubloons for a fish supper soon! These fish burgers will make for an _inexpensive_ "Take In".
Keep up the great work mate, God bless. 👍
thank you kindly
I've been buying Youngs fish burgers for ages ..I'll try these .. but try this in your bun with the fish burger ,, a bit of shredded lettuce , tartar sauce and a slice of processed cheese and you've got a McDonald's Filet o Fish 😋
Sounds good mate
Admit I'm a Haddock person..but might try these out once anyway...might convert me ;)
Enjoy
Hi BFG - can't beat a bit of tartare but also go balls in and use some ceaser sauce which has a hint of italian cheese - it aint easy being cheesy but this does work well with fish.
Cheers pal, all the best mate 👍
Great video again mate
Thanks again!
Good for the value look tasty
They're something that's passed me by....look good, will put on pay day wish list 😂
Gareth, mate, you like tartare, sour cream, and chilli sauce. You have to mix a tablespoon of each and taste it. I did NICE 🎉
Cheers pal yes will have to mate. All the best pal. 👍
Hi Gareth we have had these they are lovely
