White fish of different species were compared in a series of experiments involving the use of taste panels. Problems encountered in presenting uniform samples are described and the preferences established are discussed. It was established that appearance, texture and flavour all contributed to determining the relative acceptability offish species, and that very small differences in these properties led to definite preferences for certain types of fish.
