"Tasting Table's staff put these frozen fish filets on a list of cheap Aldi products you should avoid buying at all costs, even though the actual cost of a bag is a measly seven dollars. Fremont's Pacific Whiting tastes super fishy and almost rank, likely a sign that it wasn't very fresh before it was frozen. While some types of seafood have a "fishier" flavor than others, whiting is a mild white fish that is supposed to have a very delicate taste, so something is definitely off here."
"There are other Aldi seafood items that have a bad rap among customers, including the Fremont Fish Market Wild Caught Pink Salmon. A 32-ounce bag of filets seems like a great bargain, and some customers report no problems with the fish, but others have encountered severe textural issues. A mushy, mealy, overly soft consistency is the most common complaint, and some also report a fishy, rancid taste, similar to the whiting filets."
Aldi's seafood selection is inconsistent, with some frozen items offering good value and others showing clear quality problems. Fremont Fish Market Pacific Whiting filets are reported to taste very fishy and almost rank, suggesting poor freshness before freezing. Fremont's Wild Caught Pink Salmon also receives mixed reviews, with frequent complaints of mushy, mealy texture and occasional rancid taste. Some Fremont products, such as chipotle salmon burgers, receive positive feedback, indicating variability across the brand. Social media and customer reports highlight a hit-or-miss pattern for Aldi's frozen seafood offerings.
