As a kid, we ate Mrs. Paul's brand fish sticks. The only fish I'd eat.

Until... one day (maybe 10-y.o.) I was sitting with a plate of them and
playing with my food, began forking the breading off a fish stick, finally
revealing a perfectly shaped rectangular "brick" of pressed grey matter.

Grossed me out. "What kind of fish is that?" I never ate another fish stick.
Didn't have a problem with her fried clams, thankfully!

Did you dread the fish stick?

No! I used to like them and so did my kids. Perhaps the tartare
sauce helped! However, I can now eat Gortons again since their
Japanese parent company has decided to get out of whale killing.

Ages ago a friend told me an identical story -- that as a child she
was served up a fishstick by her mother, and it turned out to be
a breaded piece of foam rubber. Apparently there was a disgruntled
employee in the fishstick factory.

If it happend as described, the incident would have been 40+
years ago.

Thankfully, I've never knowingly eaten a fish stick in my entire life!
My son may have had some as a kid at school or at his friends' homes,
but not in my kitchen!

I suppose this is your idea of posting about food. Yeah, random
useless memories of some crap your mom fed you when you were a kid.
Real interesting. Go do a public service and stick your finger in a

I used to LOVE fish sticks as a kid; I've always been a fish fiend anyway.
Whenever my parents got us a babysitter, it was guaranteed fish sticks with
Kraft Mac N Cheese with peas for dinner that night. I've had fish sticks
lately, as an adult, and they're absolutely disgusting! LOL. I burp their
greasy taste up for hours after consumption. I prefer breading and frying
my own, thank you. Much less grease, I know what's under the breading, and
I can choose my own coating ingredients. No more frozen fish sticks, ack!

Oooh, that sounds really good! Maybe I'll talk DH into trying it. He's
not a fan of fish or seafood, unfortunately, but he did have a shrimp
cocktail and some salmon chowder while dining out the other night, so
who knows? Thanks for the idea, Kili... :-)

It's too easy just to lightly coat and deep fry catfish nuggets, or
strips of fresh Salmon on sale......

I occasionally do buy and cook junk food, but fish sticks are just not
even a consideration.

Trader Joes has some upscale ones, that actually look pretty decent. I
don't think they are minced fish...

I have yet to find one that is not mostly breading.
It just holds no appeal for me!

Not really. We only had them once a week, on Fridays (even after Vatican
II). I detested then and still detest tartar sauce, but I used to eat them
with catsup. Now I just buy fillets and make my own with seasoned panko.
YUM.

Their breaded cod sticks are pretty good, and made from
non-endangered arctic cod. Short of hauling out the deep
fryer they're about as good as you'll get.

Been deep frying Haddock dipped in pancake batter on Fridays lately. We do
our own "French Fries" in same oil first. It beats anything I've gotten in
restaurants lately.

My father is a fisherman, so we had fresh fish ALL the time. Occasionally,
I'd get a fish stick at a friends house and felt the same way "WHAT KIND OF
FISH IS THAT?!" To this day I'm spoiled as fish purchased at the store
grosses me out, because isn't any where near fresh. My dad isn't quite the
fisherman he use to be. A couple times a years though we all go out and
catch some fresh fish. yum.

I think "Mrs Pauls" has always been made from ground up fish. They also
make those crappy "onion rings" that are stamped out in the same fashion
as the fish sticks and made from who knows what.

There are "non-industrial" fish sticks that are actually cut pieces of
fish.

Andy wrote:


> Did you dread the fish stick?

As a kid, I didn't care. As an adult, Gorton's aren't bad. They're made
with whole pieces of fish and the batter isn't too thick. Since I live
in Kansas, "fresh fish" is something of an oxmoron, and the 'sale'
prices when I can get it would send those of you on the coast into
sticker shock.

I make my own tartar sauce, it's pretty easy, and the fresh taste really
adds a lot.



Dawn

I grew up eating fish sticks, dipping them in catsup. My two year old
boys like fish sticks. I use them to make fish tacos -- top the fish
sticks with tartar sauce mixed with pickled jalapenos then wrap it all
up in a tortilla.

Well, I guess that would work for fish tacos. I make mine with fried beer
battered fish, squeeze of lime, cabbage, a white sauce of sour cream with
salsa and lime (it doesn't curdle) and I like to add cheese. Hot sauce is
optional.

We've tried them and liked them. I haven't gotten any since last summer. I
tend to buy that kind of thing in the summer because I really don't have
time for scratch cooking then. I think we mostly used them for fish
sandwiches. I remember they weren't anything like the usual fish sticks.
They really were pieces of fish with not much breading. I do have them on
the grocery list for purchase for the summer time. The positive part is
that I will buy them again.
Sorry I can't give you a better report.

Fish sticks are one of my guilty pleasures. When we came back from
Thailand, for various reasons my mom, middle brother and I lived with her
parents. My Dad and oldest brother stayed in Bangkok for a few months. Her
parents were on a fixed income. Mom did contribute to the monthly food
budget. But on Fridays (no, they weren't Catholic) Grandma would always
serve fish sticks and tater tots. I don't recall the brand (Gorton's,
maybe?) but I still occasionally crave fish sticks and tater tots. Of
course, I've never examined them under a microscope

I purchase them for the "elderly relative" that lives with me, she is
used to them and likes them and i have been known to eat them
occasionally, the ones i buy are labelled "pollock" and are breaded
whole fillets.

I bought some cheap generic ones once that said they were some kind of
ground fish, and i don't mind that, i will grind or mash fish especially
crab and prawns and mix with ground chicken, but these ground fish
sticks were just awful, no taste and they were soggy and mushy no matter
how you cooked them.

I watched a show on PBS about a chef of the Queen of England and he said
she like his chunks of fresh fish dipped in an egg yolk and wrapped up
in iirc very finely sliced, matchstick, potatoes, which are then pan
sauted till crispy and done. I have not tried to make this but i had
the first piece of cat fish i ever liked, cooked that way in a local
restaurant.

I simply hate the fact that the "pressed brey matter" bricks are always
thinner.
Once they were breaded mistery fish, now they're "fished" mistery bread.

Probably way over cooked. If someone had a meat grinder they could
easily prepare a freezerful of their own delicious fish cakes... and
you'll know what/who is in it.

Note that HEB was in first place. ;-)

Those are the only two choices here in San Marcos.

I generally just coat my own fresh fish from scratch if I want "fish
sticks", but I was "fishing" for a quick occasional alternative?

LOL. I find it interesting to hear prices from different parts of the
US. I've got Flounder fillets thawing for dinner. They were $3.29.

I don't have any Perch in the freezer to check prices but I've got
Catfish nuggets for $1.79, Pollack fillets for $2.29 and Shark steaks
for $4.59.

Louise requested the Flounder this morning and I thought I might try
fish cakes. She doesn't like that idea so I might try making one for
myself and make hers to her liking. I've been googling and think this
looks interesting. I'll have to wing the conversion. <g>
