Well the mock fish did not taste very fishy but it may have done if I had been able to get the anchovy essence. But I liked it and will do it again as it was very cheap to make and did make a change from always having meat. Do not feel so full and bloated. The texture was maybe like one of the  cheaper fish fillets, you know the ones where the re shape them from fish pieces.

There are photos on my blog.

will try it again, as I did not have a problem with the texture, but will try to get more flavour into it.

Thanks TA I have found that waitrose do anchovy paste, just have to get there to buy it , I have bought online from waitrose but you have to do a £50 order. Did ask in tesco and was told they don't sell it anymore.

I have morrisons which is a 2 mile walk away, also m+s food in the same place. ( I don't get the bus as it costs me £4 for a round trip)  or we can drive 10 miles to the nearest tesco.

Made the mock fish again this evening. I managed to get around the anchovy part by buying a small tin of anchovies in oil and using half of this , cut up finely and the mashed with a pestle. It tasted quite good.
