I really like smoked haddock, but worry that it's not really smoked at all, but just coloured and flavoured.

Not sure how this stands up on Trades Description...I don't suppose smoky bacon crisps have been smoked.

I like the smoked fish you can get at the coast, particularly the east, when you know it's been properly smoked.

I once bought some dried salted fish from Mirza Bros in Beatrice Street (is it still there?).... bit of a disaster. Fuck nose what you're meant to do with it....Bombay Duck indeed.

I like the undyed stuff you can get on fish counters.  Tastes the same and doesn't look radioactive.

Smoking haddock is rubbish. You have to smoke like 10 in a row to even feel slightly stoned.

I can guarantee it was smoked.  Bought in unsmoked, I smoked it myself in our smoker.

I think that's probably now F and A's deli which I get my quota of salted cod from. Sounds similar to me, I make fish cakes from this stuff (not easy) very similar to the salted cod you get in Portugal which IMO is lush. If you want to try to give it go again I can pass my recipe on ? (My missus likes it anyway !)

That made me laugh a lot more than it probably should have. Although I am haddocked off my tits

Post it on here...I'm sure there will be others interested in Anteater's dried salted cod fish cakes.

 Is there any particular advantage to dried fish over wet fish?

A wet fish will make your bath towells stink.

 Anyone a fan of kedgeree?  For those in the know, it's an Indian thing (British Raj) made from smoked haddock, eggs, rice cooked in butter.

 You're supposed to eat it for breakfast, now I like fish, but the thought of eating this first thing in the morning, makes me feel ill.

That DID look delicious and has to be done.

Kedgeree is ace, but not as a breakfast dish.
