The Occasional Salmon (DVD)

Scrumptious Salmon en Croute

Advantages: Delicious pastry and filling
Disadvantages: Expensive and only available at Tesco

My boyfriend and I recently invited some friends round for dinner and as we were looking around our local Tesco's for something tasty to dish up, we came across Tesco's Finest Salmon en Croute. Packaging Tesco's Finest Salmon en Croute comes in a cardboard box which is decorated in the same sort of style as other Tesco's Finest products. The box is black and grey in colour with Tesco's Finest written across the front. Salmon en Croute is also written across the front and there is a large picture of the product when it is cooked splashed across the front also. There is also a product description on the packaging which states 'Prime salmon fillet. Butter enriched puff pastry. Spinach and lemon sauce.' Once you open the box, there are two Salmon en Croute's inside which sit on a plastic tray. Cost Each packet contains two ...

Review of Tesco Finest Salmon en Croute

58% Salmon

Advantages: A tasty quick and easy alternative to a "normal" fish finger
Disadvantages: Not as healthy as you think or 100% wild salmon

The fish fingers come in an attractive eye catching box. The picture on the front shows the pink salmon contained inside a golden coloured fish finger. Each box contains 10 salmon fish fingers. I paid £2 from my local Tesco but the recommended retail price is around £2.60. The information on the outside of the box says that the fish fingers are made from wild salmon. However on reading the nutritional information on the back of the box I see that these fish fingers contain 58% salmon. There is no, mention what other type of fish has been used. This is something I would like to know! The breadcrumbs and batter covering contain vegetable oil. A serving of 3 fish fingers will give you 190 calories, and 8 grams of fat. These fish fingers are very quick and easy to prepare. I prefer to grill them and they will take about 10 minutes under ...

Review of Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers

Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers : A potential treat!

Advantages: Good quality fish, no bones, no grey bits
Disadvantages: A little too dry, strongly flavoured, expensive

I eat a lot more fish than I do meat, and am ever on the lookout for new and tasty products that I can feast on. Salmon isn't my favourite fish by any means, as I find the flavour of it a little too pungent, but as a new-ish product, Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers caught my eye in Sainsbury's deep freeze the other day - naturally a pack sort of jumped into my trolley! The pack is of very similar design to Birds Eye Cod Fish Fingers, except that the predominant colour is a salmon pink. The back of the box shows nutritional information, ingredients, dietary/allergy advice, storage/cooking instructions (oven bake or grill) and basic general dietary guidelines. I decided to oven bake a few, and have with jacket potato, peas and tomatoes. Inside the box, each fish finger is uniformly shaped, the same size as the cod variety ...
