Forget cod with your chips: soon it could be big-headed carp.

Scientists are working on bringing exotic Asian freshwater fish to British dinner tables.

The species, which also include silver carp and pangasius, could provide a radical, but tasty, alternative to popular fish including cod, salmon and trout.

And already the Bournemouth University researchers say the fish have passed a crucial blind taste test.
 



Serving the fish in traditional batter to 100 consumers, they found that 39% preferred the pangasius while 16% preferred carp and 43% said they preferred the traditional cod.

Big headed carp is a silver coloured species of carp that can grow up to 100lbs in size and is found in lakes of eastern Asia. It has a pink flesh and the researchers believe it could be used to replace trout or salmon.

Silver carp is commonly cultivated in China while pangasius is a type of catfish found in the Mekong river in south east Asia. Both have a mild white-coloured flesh and could be a good alternative to cod,.
