Pollock (what most fish sticks are made of) is Alaska's biggest fishery, far exceeding salmon or herring. It is said to be the largest fishery in the world, so I encourage you all to eat lots of fish sticks and support Alaska's fisheries.
I loved them as a kid and I still do today. I like them in a soft bun with tartar sauce or just on the plate .. quick and easy and always taste the same !
My wife served me a dozen Fish Sticks for dinner last night!(Friday) They were served with Cocktail Sauce and 2 side dishes, which I enjoyed with a Rum & Coke! It was delightful, because I haven't had 'em in at least 40 years! Judy bought a package of 44 fish sticks, so I'm looking forward to the remaining 32! Hal
I have Fish & Chips frequently, at least once a month, at our favorite Steak House "Steer & Stein". They're prepared from hand-battered cold water Cod filets, and I enjoy 'em with Malt Vinegar or Lemon Juice. Hal
Years ago we had a franchise in town called "Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips;" it was wonderful. All that crunchy, greasy goodness. And that's where I learned to love malt vinegar.
HEY BETH, We used to have "H. Salt Esquire" fish & chips restaurants. They served the fish wrapped in fake copies of the London Times! We also used to have "Long John Silver" fish & chips, but they're gone too. Hal
Hey Hal. The Arthur Treacher's places also wrapped the fish and chips in fake newspaper. We still have Long John Silver's but we haven't been there in years.
But wait a minute...after finishing the 44 Fish Sticks, we bought a package of 12 of Gorton's Fish Filets, which were breaded and crispy like the Sticks, but were much larger and meatier and we enjoyed them even more then the Sticks! Howl
That is probably because the fillets are intact fish, while the fish sticks/fingers are generally minced fish that may include things that wouldn't be in the fillet...not harmful or bad, just not the nice white meat you get in the fillets.
