Oh ick. Thanks for the warning. Luckily one can get breaded fish

But how about those great prices at the big box mart? They have
everybody trained that price is all that matters. You weren't supposed
to notice they substituted fish paste for real fish.

Any indication of the country of origin?
In other industries, Warren Buffet's modus operandi
is to buy American companies with good brands,
move production to China and really cheapen the
product, then feed on the previous reputation
of the company.
I haven't seen this happen in food products,
but maybe this is the start of a trend.
I've heard that a lot of fish processing is
taking place in China, even fish harvested in
American waters are being cut into fillets in
China, then shipped back here. I don't know
whether that product would be marked as coming
from China. It would make sense that they'd
have to think of something to do with the
trimmings and scrapings.

In the late 60's, Howard Johnson's restaurants used to have an AYCE fish
dinner served with rolls, french fries and cole slaw. $1.29 I was a
cook there while in High School and we were very busy every Friday night.
I went away to college and one Friday night, I and about 15 of my
college buddies went to the local HoJo's and tried to eat them out of
business. I introduced myself to the manager and he was pretty cool
about it and we all had a good time. He invited us back but asked us to
call ahead so they could be better prepared.

safe foods with imports from China, Asia and eastern Europe is getting
worse.
If you spent anytime in Vietnam or the whole, of Asia you know how they
handle foods. Enough said.
Most Jerky is from anywhere in eastern Europe, Australia and of course
Asia. It is brought here in bulk and packaged in the USA.
They are eliminating American Industry now our Dairy, and food Agriculture.
If it continues we will have food basically of feed stocks of soy and
grains processed and mixed with some real foods.

Gorton's battered cod has been made from minced fish forever. Their breaded
fillets are made from solid fish, but not cod. If you want cod it will
normally be shredded, as that has been the preference for centuries. The
only market for 'fresh' cod (non-shredded) has been Britain for their fish
and chips. Everything else, bacala etc, is made from dried, or salt cod.
Gorton's isn't ripping anyone off.
Good batter will always be thicker than breading, whether it's on chicken or
fish or vegs.
K
Actually, almost 100% if commercial fish products are processed on the ship
that caught them. The only variation is local fisherman who still bring
their catch to the docks. Even the American shrimpers in the Gulf, and
fisherman off both North coasts have factory ships.

We get those. They are good enough for what they are. By the time they
are dipped in my faux rouille (sambal oelek/tuong ot toi plus minced
garlic in mayonnaise) they taste pretty decent LOL! Or hoisin sauce
works too.
They are good on a sandwich with lettuce, coriander/cilantro leaves and
nuoc mam.

I rarely buy the processed fish sticks, but I think Mrs. Pauls was the one I
bought not long ago for a quick meal. It was a beer battered one and it
certainly looked like real filets when you cut into it with a fork. Tasty,
too.

I went to a restaurant once, and picked fish and chips since nothing
else sounded good. It was exactly like what you described. chopped up
fish junk instead a batter. It was disgusting.
I haven't actually bought a fish stick or Gorton's product since I
hated them even as a child. Thankfully, that stuff didn't ruin my
taste for fish. I like most types of fish, and a plain fillet or
roast, without any sauce or seasoning is just fine by me. Or deep
fried with a light cracker coating. Yum!

I notice weight/volume. Bigbox has everyone trained only to consider price.
And talking about big box quality I was in someones office yesterday and
they said take a look at the ingredients list of some "peanut butter"
cheese crackers they had purchased at everyone's favorite bigbox low
everyday price store walmart.
In tiny type it reported that the "peanut butter" layer contained <2%
peanut butter with the rest of the "peanut butter" layer consisting of
various industrial stuff!

What's so bad about fat, salt and calories? Problem is the crust.
Since there seems to be no way to get a nice crust with a frozen
pizza, just the least crust possible is best. If I didn't have a

My youngest son buys frozen pizzas, and it says "crust rises as it

Lots of brands do that. I remember when they first
started appearing, a representative of one of the
companies went on the Today show, and whoever
interviewed him asked what makes it rise. He seemed
confused for a moment, then said "Yeast", which is
wrong. They have baking powder in them. The ones
I've examined have aluminum-based compounds in the
baking powder. Even though the scientific evidence
doesn't support consumer fears of aluminum, I don't
feel like taking even the slightest risk to eat
a frozen pizza. I might take a risk to try out
the U.S.-grown so-called "Kobe" beef, but there the
risk/reward balance is a little closer to being
in my favor.

I pay attention to the unit price, not the package size or price.
Fortunately the unit price is still required to be listed on the price
label, so you don't have to calculate it yourself all the time.

Pete, why are you concerned about what he eats when he's sick? I definitely
don't feel like cooking when I'm under the weather. It's bad enough to go
grocery shopping when you feel like crap, forget about cooking. The closest
I get to cooking when I have the flu (forget about pneumonia) is a can of
Campbell's tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich... and often that feels
like too much work.

There is ZERO evidence that aluminum is harmful. From what I've
heard, the only studies that suggested it used faked data.

I believe California Pizza Kitchen also does that,
which is why I've never eaten their pizza.

I'm sure there's more brands than just those.
I wonder why nobody had invented rising
crusts back when frozen pizza was invented.
There must have been some difficult technical
problem, like mixing the dough, rolling it out,
and freezing it before the baking powder can
react.

Ah well. Hardly a necessary article of diet in any case :)

Try it on a decent roll. Mayonnaise is optional.
But I'm speaking in vain. Today's trip to Costco turned up a total lack
of Trident fish sticks! Trident batter-coated fish fillets, pointedly
marked 'whole fillets', but not sticks. Our local Sam's Club hasn't
carried them before but perhaps they have taken up the slack.

My apologies.
Having a googlemail account (since long before it was called gmail),
I'm a bit thin-skinned in that matter.
And using googlegroups, no less...
Remarks like "Google groupers don't pay attention to things like that."
regarding ancient posts just aren't nice, to say the least.
And I'm really hurt by that.
Bye, Sanne.
Bruce
are not, though.
