I'm a very nervous cook but have invited two friends for dinner on Saturday night. I'm serving a dish of "Herb-crusted Haddock". Can I buy the haddock tomorrow (Friday) and not cook it until Saturday night, please?

Jalima1108 there is now an Ivor Dewdneys in Newton Abbot, oh happy days! My family love them so much we use their postal service, not cheap but delish grin

Thank you Jalima. Sorry for the delay but I had family at the weekend and you know what that's like. No chance of coming on the laptop.

It was really successful! When I unwrapped the fish, the pieces were huge. I fact I had to cut a piece off one of them it just looked too much. The lady in Waitrose was not very helpful and when I asked for four fillets she was giving me four loins. Fortunately, I stopped her in time to have three, thinking I would cut the biggest one in half. You may gather I'm not used to buying fresh fish. Anyway, I added some Parmesan cheese, as suggested by Riverwalk, and there were four clean plates at the end.

Once again, thank you for all the help.
