CONSUMER PREFERENCES FOR FRESH WHITE FISH SPECIES

Nine fresh white fish species were investigated by sensory evaluation panels. Judges were able to distinguish between species by taste. Preference was determined by flavour but was not held very strongly, so that most people would find all the species acceptable and could be advised to base their choice of species on price rather than name. Two species were tested after incorporation into products and were found to be indistinguishable from one another in these forms.
