Four packs all sold as fish cakes, judged on the one number the box buries: how much of the cake is actually fish, not potato and breadcrumb. The declared fish runs 32% to 43%, so the cheapest pack gives the most fish per pound while a box that fronts '100% of the finest cod' is nowhere near the best value. More real fish means more food and less filler for your money.

Ranked by cost per 100g of actual fish — shelf price with filler stripped. Sources on each pack's own page.
