Easy and great tasting. I use fresh cod from the butcher for this, so I double the amount of fish because it shrinks in the boiling process. My husband goes nuts for this recipe with a side of rice pilaf. It has become a staple in our menu.

As advertised - easy and tastes (kind of) like lobster. However, I'd say this could easily work with less butter. I used only the 6 tablespoons it calls for as basting liquid - putting about 3/4 of it on prior to broiling, and the rest after broiling before serving, and I thought it was still too much. No need to add extra butter tableside. Best parts of the recipe are that it's prepared from frozen and it loses its fishy taste in the sweet boiling liquid and the buttery broil, to appease picky eaters who don't like fish.

It's easier not to overcook the fish this way. It tasted pretty good. My husband and I agreed that we didn't need that much butter for dipping, so you might want to use less.

Thank you for giving me a new idea for preparing cod. However, I expected some sort of transformation of the fish, based on all the glowing reviews and comparisons to lobster. It's like lobster in that you dip it in butter, but that's where the similarity ends. Next time I'll just butter poach the fish for rich, sweet, lobster-y flavor.

Got my kids to eat fish and they could help me make the meal! The only change was I bought the pre-made butter with dill sauce. I also made spinach couscous and put the fish on top.

Yum! The verdict was that it didn't really taste like lobster but was absolutely delish anyhow. Even my picky son loved it. Great texture, too.

I've made this once already. My family LOVED it. My db bragged about it to all his friends and family they wanted the recipe so i guided them to the site. Nothing but rave reviews from them also. Thanks so much.

The flavor was great, but I had 8 nice filets to use- and after they boiled for 2 minutes they fell into chunks and pieces- disappointing! next time i will just add a little bit of sugar to the butter and broil until done. You only need 1/2 cup of butter- that was more than enough for my 8 filets. The flavor paired with cod was really excellent that's why it was so disappointing that the fish fell apart.
