Many took to Twitter to slam the professionals for not knowing a type of fish, which they claimed was readily available in all the big supermarkets.
Guest Sara Cox admitted that she had once bought what she thought was halibut from a guy who turned up on her doorstop, but it later turned out to be river cobbler.
The trio of stars all looked puzzled by her comments and claimed they had never heard of it before.
"Chefs should be embarrassed not knowing what bassa is #SaturdayKitchen," one user tweeted, after it was pointed out that it is also know as basa fish.
