Fish Sticks, Anybody Ever Tried Them?

[sandyRoe]

Are they like a fishy equivalent of meat sausages, full of all the bits that aren't fit for anything else?

[-SharonA-]

I used to love them, I had them on my salads and in sandwiches. But when someone told what was in them, I got put off. Whether it was true or not I stopped eating them.

Fish sticks- American for fish fingers which are usually made with fish portions rather than fish bits.

[Rockrose]

I love them and eat them every week

[Rockrose]

They used to be called crab stix or seafood stix

Not in the least, they are very tasty, once they were called Crab Sticks.

//Fishsticks or fish fingers are a type of food probably invented in the United Kingdom. They are made of a whitefish like cod that is battered and breaded//

Not had them for a while. They are nice.

AOG, Crab sticks are a different product.

I bought a packet of 10 in Tescos this morning. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

[Rockrose]

Are they pink and white sandy?

[anotheoldgit]

They do in fact taste very much like crab claw meat, not a bit like fish fingers.

Lovely in a sandwich with cocktail sauce and crispy lettuce.

[sandyRoe]

Pink on the outside, white inside, yes.

From Tesco's description of their fish sticks
//
20 individually wrapped crab flavoured surimi sticks made with Alaska pollock //

[Rockrose]

Yes they used to be called crab or seafood stix sandy

[ummmm]

I really like them.

No they are not.

/// Crabsticks do not contain tripe. They contain fish. You may call them crabsticks however, like a Gold Coast con artist, they are also known by many other names. Sometimes they are called fish sticks, seafood extender and even "seafood highlighter", a name that sounds like a bizarre iridescent fish-pen. ///

AOG, they are different to fish fingers which is what I was referring to/

Handy to have in for a quick snack and very nice with mayo, chutney or various other sauces. Love them !
