birds eye bake to perfection fish

[toddleo]

I am baffled as to why the yummy salmon in lemon and herb sauce is free on EE but the haddock in lemon and chive sauce is 3 syns: if anything you would expect it to be the other way around. Any suggestions?

salmon	haddock
cals 230	cals 200
protein 26g	protein 23g
carbs 0.6	carbs 0.4
sat fat 5.8	sat fat 5.2
fibre trace	fibre trace

It doesn't make sense at all.

Also, the haddock one isn't 3 syns:

Bake to Perfection Haddock Fillets with a Lemon & Chive Sauce, twin pack, frozen, 140g each

EE - 4½

Red - 4½

Green - 9½

If you contact SW, let us know how you get on!

Salmon is an oily fish and haddock isn't, the salmon will get a higher free food allowance for total fat, but the fat in the salmon is healthy par the fat in the haddock if that makes sense. Also the salmon is higher on protein than the haddock, which will also bump up the free food allowance.

This is one of the reasons you should never assume something is low syn just by calories alone, as the syn value when there is a free food is worked out with a very complex formula, which not only looks at nutritional information but also the type of free food too.

Hope that helps
