"I bought this fish from my local Tesco for the first time and tried it on Saturday. On Sunday I spent the day vomiting and feeling very ill this continued into Monday and my body aches all over. My daughter who also had the fish started the same on Sunday evening and is also still recovering."

Is this Pangasuis? Because I eat that stuff all the time (it is cheap, and because it has relatively little flavour you can do all sorts of things with it) and I never got ill. But mine's deep froven, maybe that's a difference?

Yeah it is. I don't know, I've read conflicting stuff. Loads of people say it's fine, and loads say it's made them ill. Mine was fresh though, and when I say fresh, it was probably past it's best as it's been in the fridge a few days. Eep.

Oh well, north sea fish is full of crap too. Basically, everything we eat has been polluted one way or another: either to speed its growth; or because it's been living in polluted environments. That's a sad thought, but at the same time it's a reassurance that a little bit of toxicity isn't going to break the resistance we built against it over the years.
I do hope you don't get sick, though, of course.
