What A Load Of Old Cobblers


When it comes to a bit of a rumpus it looks as though fish and chips are back on the menu.

A Worcestershire chippy - Catshill Fish Bar, in Golden Cross Lane, have been fined £4000 for serving river cobbler, sourced from Vietnam, whilst claiming it was cod. Following a customer complaint, trading standards officers analysed a sample from the chippy and discovered it was a type of catfish - also known as Panga.

The irony is that when the members of the general public were asked to taste both fish and say which they preferred, most of them said the cobbler tasted better than the cod.
