1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: We all know fish is good for us, but it's 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: frozen fish just as healthy is eating crumbed or battered 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: fish still a healthy addition to our diet. Today, on 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch we review three popular types of frozen 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: fish and see what impact they make on our overall duct. 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: Hi only and would and I'm Sissy Burrow and a 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: still of Austrayas leading dietitians who specialize in evidence based nutrition, 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: we bring you the Nutrition Couch podcast review, a weekly 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: chat on new products and old favorites you can find 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: at the supermarkets before we jump in today's episode, Susy, 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: do you and the family eat frozen fish? And if so, 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: what is your favorite type. 13 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 2: That's so funny because when I was growing up, we 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: would always have frozen fish once a week. And then 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 2: I'm an ambassador for Tassel and have been for four 16 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: or five years now, so I would be a routine 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: salmon eater. But as I've got busier with my kids 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: at school and work picking up, my kids really like 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: frozen fish, and I have to be honest, I quite 20 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: like it too. The one that I like, I don't 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: even know if I can say this I myself, I 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 2: don't know if we were reviewing this one actually because 23 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: you chose them today. I like one that's got a 24 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 2: herban palmersan herban garlic crumb, I think, and I would 25 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 2: have it once a week as just a really quick 26 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 2: and easy dinner. But you know what actually is interesting. 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: I would have thought for kids, it's a really good 28 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: way to encourage small children to eat more fish. We 29 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: know that our kids in general don't eat enough fish. 30 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 2: We know our adults in Australia don't need enough fish 31 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: in general. And I understand why kids may not be 32 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: the biggest fans. You know it can be. You know, 33 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: it's got a distinct smell. Indeed, you know a lot 34 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 2: of families will talk about it's challenging to get kids 35 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: to eat fish. But I was giving one of my 36 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 2: little boys the crumbfish and he started to take all 37 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: the crumbs off and said, can I just buy in Barramunday. 38 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, there you go. See it's not 39 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: always what you think with the kids that they enjoy. 40 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: So I've actually I don't need to buy the crumbfish. 41 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: It's more for me. I like it. It takes me 42 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: back to my childhood. But my little boy wants of 43 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: course the expensive barrel moundy feeling, so there you go. 44 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: You can't always pick it with kids, but no, I'm 45 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: a big fan of it. I think it can be 46 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: really nutritious and you know what at the momently, and 47 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: it's really cost effective because groceries have gone up exponentially 48 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: in costs for frustrate and families, so keeping a packet 49 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: of fish and I always buy them myself when they're 50 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: on half priced coals, so they ten dollar packets go 51 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: down to five and I always stock up because that's 52 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: a really cost effective, quick and easy meal and a 53 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: million times better than buying fried fish and chips which 54 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: will be cooked in the worst type of oil at 55 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: the local fish and chip shop. So it's a much 56 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: better meal to keep some of those filets in the freezer. 57 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: And there's some great, you know, really healthy chips and 58 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 2: sweet potato chips you can get now, which means you 59 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: can have dinner ready for the family in you know, 60 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: twenty minutes, and it's a lot healthier than a takeaway. 61 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: So yes, in answer to your question in a long, 62 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: high foluted way, I'm a big fan of frozen fish 63 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: for families in particular. 64 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: And I agree it's such a quick and easy meal. 65 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Like David and I regularly will have We probably have 66 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: fish for salmon two three times a week, and we 67 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: often just throw some chippies in the air, right. We 68 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: get one of the bag silad mixes from Coals Woolies 69 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: and we just throw some fish the oven. It's such 70 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: an easy thing to do. I can go get back 71 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: from my exercise, go have a quick shower while something's 72 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: in the air fright in the oven, come back, and 73 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: you've got like a really healthy dinner, and as you said, 74 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: quite cost effective if we're getting things on sale. So 75 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: I've actually chosen three products this week, Susie, because I 76 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: thought I found two that I really quite like and 77 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: one that I thought was maybe perhaps more of like 78 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: a health halo that I thought, oh, I think people 79 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: would grab this front of package Laby and pick it 80 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: up and go, oh, you know, this looks really good. 81 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab this one. And then the one the 82 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: other one that I chose, which is actually probably a 83 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: better option. People might sort of bypass that one because 84 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: I thought, oh, that one's not as good. So hopefully 85 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: we can give our listeners a little bit of again 86 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: food for thought, this week. But the first one I 87 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: picked up Susie. I went through Coles today. So the 88 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: birds eye steam, fresh soy and ginger fish. So you've 89 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: got two filets in there. Retails it holes for nine dollars, 90 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: so it's four dollars fifty a filet. Now, the one 91 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: thing I don't love about this is it's made in Vietnam, 92 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: so I think finding fish that sort of Australian is 93 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: quite difficult, particularly things like you know, salmon and prawns. 94 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: These days, actually getting Aussie seafood is quite a challenge. 95 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: So this one's from Vietnam. But health wise, if you 96 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: sort of take away from where it's found, is actually 97 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: not a bad option. So one filet of fish is 98 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty five kilodules. Thirty one and a 99 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: half grams of proteins are really high proteins usy, that's 100 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: awesome to see. Two point seven grams are fat, only 101 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: one point five that's saturated, So that's a really great 102 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: fat profile, less than a gram of carbohydrates, less than 103 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: a gram of sugar, and two hundred milligrams of sodium. 104 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 1: And when we look through the allergen list, of course 105 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: fish is going to be an allergen. It also contains 106 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: soybean and contains wheat as well, so unfortunately for our celiacs, 107 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: it's the nogo or anyone who is sensity or allergic 108 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: to soy beans as well. So in the ingredient list, 109 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: we've got sixty eight percent bass of philets, We've got 110 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: thirty two percent of the sauce which is soy and ginger, 111 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: and we've also got some acidity regulators two percent ginger, 112 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: some leak coconut oil, sugar, and thickener. And I must 113 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: say the sugar is the lasting or second last ingredient 114 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: on the list of a very very small amount of that. 115 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: So overall, I think looking at the ingredient profile and 116 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: the MACA nutrient dis vision of this product, I'm a 117 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: big fans of I think it's a really really healthy addition. 118 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: And as you said, you know, four dollars fifty per field, 119 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: if we can get them on sale even cheaper. 120 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,799 Speaker 2: I agree with you. If when you do a review 121 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: of frozen fish, they range from about fifty percent up 122 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: to about sixty it's pretty standard what you'll get. This 123 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: is the highest you'll get because it doesn't have that 124 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: crumb on it at sixty eight percent. The sauce. You know, 125 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: it looks like there's a lot of additives to it, 126 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: but really overall, in the big scheme you're getting mostly fish. 127 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: It's a really really good product. I agree with you 128 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: one hundred percent that the fact it's Vietnam is not ideal. 129 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 2: You know, we want to try and support Australian industry 130 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 2: as much as we can possibly. It's a availability volume 131 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: issue and hence they're importing that as opposed to getting 132 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: from Australia. But you're right nutritionally, you can't fault that, 133 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: you know, for anyone wanting to have a high protein, 134 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: relatively low carb diet for a quick and easy meal 135 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: at night. The sodium on it leanne is really good. 136 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: You know, often with Asian sources. Two hundred milligrams is 137 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: really quite low for a meal that's got source through it. 138 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: I myself haven't tasted this, but in general I would 139 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: say they taste pretty good. You could team this with 140 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: some frozen veggies and literally have dinner in a few minutes. 141 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: It would be very very quick to cook without the 142 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: crumb on it. You could do that on some baking 143 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: paper in the pan. Be very clean as well. So yeah, 144 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: I think for people on a high protein diet who 145 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 2: want a quick and easy meal at a very affordable 146 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: price point, these are a really good choice. And I 147 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: wouldn't be overly alarmed at the nutritional list nor the 148 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 2: fact that it's from Vietnam, really, unless you're very committed 149 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: to that, Like I wouldn't be concerned. I think it's 150 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 2: a pretty strong product nutritionally, And I think we should 151 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: also say that we're not saying that you're not better 152 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 2: to buy a fish filet and stick it in the 153 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: air fry and do it yourself. We're certainly not saying that. 154 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: We're saying that for busy time, poor people who want 155 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: an option in the freezer, these are just an option, 156 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: and it's always a personal choice about how you eat. 157 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: But I'm with you one hundred percent. I would buy 158 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: this product if I didn't love my crumbfish so much, 159 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: I would buy it, and I would certainly be very 160 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: happy for my clients to be enjoying this. I think 161 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 2: it's a really strong product nutritionally. 162 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely, just a word of warning those steam fresh backs. 163 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: So I actually read an article in the news I 164 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: think last week or the week before Susie. A lady 165 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: had some serious burns because she went to get out 166 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: the bag out of the oven or out of the 167 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: microwave and it actually exploded on her. So just be 168 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: very careful with these steam fresh bags where you pop 169 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: them into the microwave or the oven and it sort 170 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: of heats up by steaming it. And I'm sure that's 171 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: a very very very rare thing, but just reading that 172 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, I just thought, oh, we 173 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: should probably just let our listeners know to be very 174 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: careful with those bags, particularly if you do, like really 175 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: follow the time or the cooking instructions on the label 176 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: very carefully, because you just don't want that happening, because 177 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: that could be absolutely awful, and those sources heat up 178 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: to a very high temperature. She was actually left with 179 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: I think second or third degree burns up her arm. 180 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, And if I'm honest with you, if I cook 181 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: those vegetables in those packets, I don't like them in 182 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: the microwave either for the same reason, and I actually 183 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: tend to pop them in not in the microwave. I 184 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: put them in the pan now. And I'd do the 185 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: same with this fish. I wouldn't cook that in the microwave, 186 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: I think you get a better taste and flavor away 187 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: from the plastic, and given we've previously talked on the 188 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: podcast about plastic leeching from rice cups, I think you're 189 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: actually better to take it out and pop it on 190 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: baking paper in the fry pan and cook it that way. 191 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 2: I think the flavor is better, you control the temperature better, 192 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 2: and then you eliminate that drama that comes with the 193 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: hot sauce. Because myself, there's some vegetables I use that 194 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: I've got a sauce on them, and I've just taken 195 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: to popping them into a quick saucepan with a little 196 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: bit of olive oil and cooking them quickly. I find that 197 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: the temperature is better regulated and I avoid that drama 198 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: with that slippery sauce that tends to slip and mess everywhere. 199 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: So I think that would take care of that risk 200 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: as well, which you're absolutely right. They do get really hot, 201 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: and that that doesn't surprise me. That's happened to someone great. 202 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: Top four listeners at Home. All right, Susie, the next 203 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: one we have chosen again, it's a bird's eye won, 204 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: But this one's an Australian Hoki philet. So this is 205 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: the birds eye, super crumb, seeds and grain. So I thought, 206 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: all that's great. You know, the more sort of seeds 207 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: in grains we can get into something like a crumbfish, 208 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: the better, right. So if we look at this one, 209 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: it's ten dollars of coals and you're getting six filets, 210 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: so it's a lot more affordable. It's only a dollar 211 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: sixty six per filet. But perfilet, Suzie, the energy content 212 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: is actually quite large. We're getting one three hundred and 213 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: fifty kilodules per filet, so about three hundred and twenty calories. 214 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: Protein is quite good, seventeen point nine grams per serve. 215 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: Fat is sixteen gram saturated fat two grams, so pretty 216 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: good saturated fat. Wise, carbohydrates twenty five grams of carbohydrates, 217 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: so because of that crumb a lot more carbohydrate. Dietary 218 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: fiber is one point six grams. I think, for you know, 219 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: the whole advertisement and the super crumbs and the grains 220 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: and the seeds, I would have liked that fiber to 221 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: be a bit higher. I think one point six grams 222 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: is quite low. And the sodium is three hundred and 223 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: twenty milligram, so not I mean it's higher than the 224 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: other product that had, you know, the Asian soy sauce 225 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: through it. So the sodium content of this actually surprised 226 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: me a little bit. I'm not loving the energy density 227 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: of it. Three hundred and twenty calories for a filet 228 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: is is quite large considering you're going to put other 229 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: things with that as well. It's not an overly large 230 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: filt either. It's one hundred and forty grams compared to 231 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: the other brand which is one hundred and ninety grams, 232 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: so we're getting, Yes, it is a cheaper product, but 233 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: we're getting a smaller filet, less protein, more than double 234 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: the calories, and more sodium as well well. So my 235 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: pick would definitely be from the Steam one that we 236 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: just reviewed beforehand. 237 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: Well, the Steam ones are big, like they're one hundred 238 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 2: and ninety grams. These these are tiny. So what they're 239 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: doing is that serve is too little filet. So they're 240 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 2: very small. So that's why so the only the individual 241 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: file it's only seventy and then they're serving one forty 242 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: is the serve and that's how they're getting around it. 243 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 2: So it's too. 244 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: Little filet two small ones, right. 245 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: I think the key thing for me is it's about 246 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: fifty one percent fish, so almost half is the crumb. 247 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: So really you want to try and get a little 248 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: bit more. Ideally, if the ratio, if we're honest, is 249 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: the crumb healthier than a plain crumb, yes it is, 250 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: but you're getting the calories from that. It's got a 251 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: reasonable Amiga three dose in these. Interestingly, for one hundred 252 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: and forty grands of fish, you're getting sort of a 253 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: third upwards of a third of you recommended in take 254 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 2: of Amiga three's per day, which is quite nice because 255 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: otherwise we're only really getting it from salmon, which doesn't 256 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: always fit. So for me, there's sort of and cons 257 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: with it. I think they taste good. I've had them. 258 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 2: They taste really nice. But you know, absolutely right, you know, 259 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: if you're going for a higher protein filler, you're going 260 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 2: to the steam fresh ones. Just leave it for dead. 261 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: You're getting, Yeah, you're getting a lot of carbs and 262 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: a lot of It's not a low cow option. If 263 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: someone was trying to keep their calories at dinner control. 264 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: There's certainly better options out there, and there are only 265 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: little Those filets you know, even two isn't a big meal, 266 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: Like I would argue that as a male you'd need 267 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: four at least. And then like you described, you're getting 268 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: upwards of, you know, six hundred calories per meal, so 269 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: it's not insignificant adding all those little bit extras in. 270 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: And no, it probably wouldn't be my go to or 271 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: my recommended product. I think there's better fish out there 272 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: that's got a higher proportion than fifty percent, and that's 273 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: probably what I would look at more than the fact 274 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: this has got seeds and grains in it. And you know, 275 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: my favorite krumleyan is to get some good quality soil 276 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: in seed bread. And this siliax too because they can 277 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: use their gluten free loaves. Just blitz it up and 278 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: use that as your own crumb and do it that 279 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 2: way and then you can control them out in equality too. 280 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: I wouldn't sort of pay for this to get my 281 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 2: seeds and grains from it. I'd rather sort of look 282 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: at it from what you're getting from the fish, if 283 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: that makes sense. But I do know they are very yummy. 284 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: So they taste quote and I will say for ten 285 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: dollars the box, as you said, it is two per fila. 286 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: I didn't actually realize that, so that would actually be 287 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: about three dollars per serving, not the dollars sixty six 288 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: that I said. And when you look through the ingredient list, 289 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: it is quite you know, we hate this word, but 290 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: quote unquote clean right. You've got fifty one percent austray 291 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: in hokee you fill it. You've got forty nine percent 292 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: of the crumb quoting which contains Panco bread crumbs. Also, 293 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: you've got a couple of seeds. In grains, you've got 294 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: one percent pumpkins seas and lying seeds. You've got point 295 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: five percent of red kinoa seeds and puffed millet in 296 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: there as well in black cheer seeds, so a small 297 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: amount of seeds which again contributes to the positive fat 298 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: profile and the Amiga three profile in there. So the 299 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: ingredient list actually looks quite fine. This is this is 300 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: a fine product. There's nothing wrong with it. But as 301 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: you do said, I think there are better options out 302 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: there when it comes to afros and fish section. 303 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: I think if this product meant your kids or your 304 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 2: husband was eating some fish, I'd be happy with it, 305 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: but it wouldn't. 306 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: Be my go to. 307 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: I don't routinely buy this product either, But you're right, 308 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 2: you know they're spinning on the crumb as a health 309 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: halo a little bit. I don't disagree. 310 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: And then the last one I've got for us, Susie 311 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: today is the Sea Lord brand, So I actually found 312 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: this at Coals as well, This Sea Lord Hokey pilets 313 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: whole meals. So again this is Australian fish, which is wonderful. 314 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: There's only two filets in this one, so it's a 315 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: much larger portion as well. So seven dollars thirty at 316 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: Coals comes out at three dollars sixty five per filet. 317 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: So when you're thinking about that, we'll go through the 318 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: nutritions in a second. But you know, one of those filets, 319 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: balanced with you know, maybe a little bit of carbohydrate, 320 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: maybe some chippies and some salad on the side, could 321 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: actually make a really nourishing meal. So three dollars sixty 322 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: per filet far more affordable than if you were going 323 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: to get some barrel munday, whether it was grilled or 324 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: battered or crumbed at your fish and chip shop. This 325 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: is a much better option cost wise. So we've got 326 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: two servings per pack. The ingredients are sixty five percent 327 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: hoky filet. We've got thirty five percent crumbs. It's a 328 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: lot high percentage of the fish in there and a 329 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: lot lower percentage of the crumbs. We've got nine percent 330 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: wheat flour, some vegetable water thickeners and wheat brand. And 331 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: then we've also got some rice flour, maize starch, tapiocre starch, 332 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: the salt, mustard powder, some yeast, garlic powder, and some 333 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: onion powder and black pepper in there for the spices, 334 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: and I guess flavor as well. So ingredient list wise 335 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: like it doesn't look too bad. And then when we 336 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: look at the nutritionals per serving is one thousand and 337 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: ninety five kilodules, so we've got a roughly what is that, 338 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: maybe fifty one sixty calories per piece, twenty one point 339 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: five grams of proteins or a really good amount of 340 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: protein per piece, eleven point four grams of fat with 341 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: one gram being saturated. We've got eighteen grams of carbohydrates 342 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: or a lot lower cars than the previous brand that 343 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: we just talked about. Three percent of sugars and two 344 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: hundred and forty milligrams of sodium, so again a pretty 345 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: decent amount of sodium for a package product. 346 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: This is so indicative of where it's confusing, because they've 347 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: put one hundred gram column first before serving and se 348 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: reading it wrong as well. So this is a classic 349 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: example when you're looking at food labels, Normally they will 350 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: list per serve first and then per hundred grams, but 351 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 2: they've flipped it here. 352 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: I made the same mistake. 353 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: Why would they do that? It's so now under consumers 354 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: are confused because I didn't even notice that because I 355 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: was thinking, why is that protein so low when it's 356 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: sixty five percent fish? Because this is the highest from 357 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: memory amount of fish filet in a crumb, filet sixty 358 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 2: five from this brand, this sea lort birds eye usually 359 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: around fifty maybe up to sixty, whereas this one is 360 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: really quite high and the whole meal crumb at thirty 361 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: five percent. But that makes sense because I was thinking 362 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: fourteen grams of protein is low, but actually it's twenty 363 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: one when you look at the right column, and the 364 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: amega three is quite low in it. What I don't 365 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: mind about this one land is the carbs are pretty good, 366 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: so of course because they've got more fish and less 367 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: crumb as opposed to fish that has got more crumb 368 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: less fish, you end up with a meal that's already 369 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: got the carbohydrate in it, So you wouldn't want to 370 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: then be adding heaps of potato or things with it, 371 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 2: because you're getting that from the crumb, particularly if your 372 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: goals fat loss, Whereas for this one, you're sort of 373 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: getting a much more controlled amount of carbohydrate as a 374 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: balanced meal. So for me, for weight control, for people 375 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: keeping an eye on their carbs, this is a much 376 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: smarter choice. I'm interested they haven't listed the dietary fiber 377 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: because you would argue that if they're using a whole 378 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: meal crumb, they're trying to improve the nutritional profile of 379 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: that product, and they're using like a wheat brand, and 380 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: it does taste good a wholemeal crumb anyway. I think 381 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: it tastes better than a plain pancoke crumb anyway. But 382 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: they haven't listed the fiber, which is interesting why they 383 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: wouldn't do that, whether it's insignificant or they haven't thought 384 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 2: too you know, it's got a few additives. Is any 385 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: process kind of fish wheel? Are you better to crumb 386 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: your own and do it in the air fry? Yes, 387 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: But if you want something quick and easy in the freezer. 388 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: Would I buy this product one hundred percent? I haven't 389 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: eaten itt myself. 390 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: I have it's good. 391 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a really good choice. You know, 392 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 2: it's astray and fish. It's quite well balanced, it's got 393 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: a really it's got the highest proportion of fish you'll 394 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: find in process fish in the supermarket when you get 395 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: them on a good sale at coals. They're really cost effective, 396 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: so yeah, and I actually use them quite often for 397 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: lunch with my clients. So I like clients to have 398 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: a hot lunch. I find it keeps them fuller. So 399 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 2: if they're working at home and they can stick a 400 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 2: couple of fish filets with a salad, I find it 401 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 2: a really quick and easy lunch and really a lot 402 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: cheaper than if you're buying it down at the cafe. 403 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: So you know, I'm a big fan of them, and 404 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: I would absolutely buy and support that brand too. I 405 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: think it's a good one. 406 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: And I like that it's Austrainie made as well. But 407 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: I will just correct myself. Susie I said that there 408 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: was one thousand and ninety five kilo jewels, which is 409 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: around one hundred and sixty calories it's not. It's around 410 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty calories per serve masses never been 411 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: much job point, which I still think is quite good. 412 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: No, But also they're not listing it as well that 413 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: you know, this is the companies they should be listing 414 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: all this information. This is why it's so confusing for consumers. 415 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 2: So it's not always our fault, you know, like if 416 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: I'm looking at this and getting confused, what hope of 417 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 2: the average person have? You know, we look at this 418 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: all day and it took me ages to notice it 419 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 2: was perserved in the second column. So you know, you're 420 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: not alone, which is why we host these segments to 421 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: try and make nutrition easier, because it really is confusing 422 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: out there if you don't have a nutrition to create 423 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 2: to weighe through these numbers. So you're forgiven for not 424 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 2: doing your maths rightlyier. 425 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely, But when I was sort of trailing through coals 426 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 1: in wil West, this was definitely one of my top 427 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: picks in terms of taste, Like it's delicious, let's be honest, 428 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: Like crumbfish definitely tastes better than steamfish. And this can 429 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: still very well easily fit within a calorie controlled diet. 430 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: For someone looking for fat loss or for somebody looking 431 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: to maintain their weight, and if be looking to gain weight, wonderful. 432 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: Put some chippies with it, throw some avocado on there, 433 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: add a little bit of salad and bedge and you've 434 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: got a really nourishing, more higher energy meal as well. 435 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: So I think it can fit really for the whole family, 436 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: whether we don't, regardless of what your goals are. And 437 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: it does definitely taste good, which is definitely a box 438 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: that we want for family friendly food. 439 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: One hundred percent big fan, So thumbs up from us. 440 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 2: Change your label and get it right.
