After not having their beer battered cod fillets for a while, we were happy to see them available again. Unfortunately, their "new formulation" is a total disappointment and doesn't measure up to the previous product. The taste is very bland and had to be slathered with tartar sauce to be decent. Plus there was an odd, unpleasant taste that was difficult to describe until I saw another reviewer mention that it contains aluminum. That has to be the odd taste. Additionally, I am not happy that the package says it is "Processed in the USA" intentionally avoiding mentioning the source of the ingredients. We deserve to know where our food originated. I will not knowingly consume any food items from China, and I suspect that is where most of the ingredients were acquired. We will be purchasing beer battered cod fillets elsewhere from now on.

Battered cot filets that go great with wine vinegar in a fish-and-chips style or even between two slices of brioche with mayo or yumyum sauce for a tasty fish sandwich. Beer-batter style breading clings to flaky cod flesh and makes for a great vehicle for ketchup or tartar sauce or even Malt vinegar in the British style! The breading clings better to the fish than most fish-stick-style baked fish. Bake your fries first and then follow the box directions for these cod filets, you won't have to guess on the timing for your fish and chips!

I have been purchasing this fish since Sam's mistakenly gave it to me over a year ago. My household loved this fish and my freezer was never void of this product. It was considered a quick meal when I didn't want to cook (add a veggie and you're set for dinner). But, a few weeks ago, I was not able to find the Beer Battered Cod fillets in the stores. However, a couple of weeks ago, it was back on the shelf. I bought two boxes and with each box, my family and I noticed remarkable changes. The fillets were not consistent in size and shape, as they were previously. There were some pieces that I would call, "nuggets," because they were so small. But most of all, the taste was not the same. There's something lacking and the fillets do not taste good at all. Whoever the producer of these filets are, should not put a substandard product in a box and expect people to continue to buy it. Sadly, I will not purchase this product again.

I'm trying to decide on whether to throw this stuff out or try it again I made some fish sandwiches and when I bit into the sandwich and it was chewy I didn't know fish could be chewy I cooked this in an air fryer and the outside was nice and crispy. I definitely won't be buying this again!

The new COD is TERRIBLE! My family loved the old COD, when grandkids knew I making it for dinner they came running! They do not like the new old and wants to know what Meme did to the fish! We would eat the old version at 3 to 4 times a month if not more. Please go back to the old version it was so much better than the new one!

We used to buy the Beer Battered Cod monthly, but since they've changed to this red box over the last several months, we've been quite disappointed. The filets are smaller, the breading isn't as tasty, and there are fewer pieces per box. We've always used the air fryer and the breading won't stay on; it falls off the fish and peels away when you pick it up to flip it or simply put it on the plate. Instead of the thick, tasty, smooth breading of the previous version, this has a more granular texture and flavoring is just "off." This seems to be a trend in many items we've purchased at Sam's over the last few years. We no longer purchase the Gouda cheese, the chicken tenderloins, or peanut butter because when they've switched to Members Mark the quality has decreased while the price has stayed the same.

I cooked six pieces of this fish. Have photos of the hard gray skin areas that we couldn't even chew from three of the pieces, plus about a one inch piece of (not flimsy) bone. We plan to throw the remainder of the box in the trash. First time I've had a bad experience with a MM product. So disappointed!

Tasteless and tough. The thicker parts of the cod were chewy and tasteless. The breading was fine and what I expected, but the air fryer instuctions were wildly off... we had to cook for just short of double the instructed time. Very disappointing. Tossed the remaining in the garbage.

We have been buying these for a couple years and they have been great until recently. Something has changed with the recipe and we will no longer be our chasing these. I have 4 boxes in the freezer that nobody wants to eat. Bring the old recipe back.

I have tried so many frozen fish fillets and by far this is the best. It borders restuarant quality. I baked mine but the next dinner I might try the also recommended deep fry method. Why spend $20-$25 for a meal in a restuarant when I can cook at home for less than $4.00 for the meal.
