More than two-thirds of people in Northern Ireland are not adventurous enough to try alternative types of fish, according to new research.
Diners from the region are set in their ways when it comes to fish, with the survey revealing that almost 70 percent of people have never tried alternative species such as megrim.
Most people never stray from buying the "big five" — cod, haddock, tuna, salmon and prawns.
Four out of five people are not meeting the Government guidelines of eating two portions of fish per week, according to the research carried out by Sainsbury's.
Reasons people have given to explain why they have been discouraged from eating fish include not knowing how to cook or prepare it correctly. More than half of those asked confessed that they do not know how to fillet a fish and almost one in five admitted not knowing how to cook fish correctly.
