This was just delicious Kim and SO easy. I prepared this with haddock and followed directions exactly. I covered the fish with the cold water, vinegar and salt and set it over high heat. After 10 minutes it hadn't come to a boil yet, but was quite hot and the fish was adequately cooked. We don't like overcooked fish so I felt it was time to serve and I was right. We all liked it very much. I don't think I'd cook it for the full 10 minutes after the boil. Thanks for posting this delicious, easy, quick recipe....it's a keeper for sure :) -
I didn't really think it tasted like lobster but it was still pretty good. The texture was a bit strange but I think it may have been overcooked. I used fillets that were about 1 1/2 inches thick. I think I will reduce the cooking time to about 8 minutes if I do this again. I served with garlic butter and we did enjoy it. Thanks for sharing. -
This didn't taste anything like lobster but I gave it 3 stars because of the ease of making it, almost foolproof. There was nothing wrong with the taste, it just tasted like haddock. Would I make it again? Sure, when I'm in a hurry and need something quick but I think I would add some garlic or seafood seasoning in the butter for a little more taste. -
I had a piece of codfish in the freezer and this recipe gave me the perfect opportunity for it. I've had this recipe saved in my cookbook for a long time and don't know why I didn't try it earlier. Buddha is allergic to shellfish so this was great that he could see what he's been missing. He loved it as did I. I gave it 4 stars in comparison to tasting like lobster, and and extra star because now Buddha and I can have a great substitute, and cheaper too! Thanks for posting! Oh, and definitely dip in real (melted) butter, don't substitute that! :)

It had a great taste but we didn't find that it tasted like lobster. But I like the method of cooking which is so easy. I served mine with tartar sauce that I made with mayonnaise and zucchini relish. Thanks Kim. Made for Zaar Star Game.
