I buy my fish from tesco reduced section and freeze it til I need it...I have some coly, Monkfish & Hoki fillets in the freezer, got all three for under a fiver...bargain...

TIP: worth looking through supermarkets reduced section for fish, you normally get between 3 & 5 fillets in a bag for a 1/4 the price...
