This fish suddenly became very popular after Channel 4's Fish Fight. It's not a good looker, but the flesh is excellent, which may be attributed to its diet of sea urchins, crabs and clams - which it grinds up with what one writer called "great pavements of teeth". The flesh is pure white but well-knitted together (unlike, say, the flakey muscles of the cod). That makes it quite versatile in the kitchen. These are skinned fillets, packed in pairs, and will be a real treat for any fishlover. (Also known as catfish, but has nothing to do with freshwater farmed catfish).
