I always buy Gordon's crispy non minced fish sticks, but sadly the last bag I purchased two weeks ago have become a victim of shrinkflation about 25% smaller than the last time I purchased them which was probably about four months earlier. We generally only purchase when we have a craving for foods we grew up with.
I buy Gortons. They are flavorful and are easy to make. They also have a pretty full line from sticks to fish filet patties. My favorite product is their beer battered fish sticks which are a bit wider. Dunking the filets or sticks in tartar sauce just completes the whole dinner.
Do you put a slice of yellow American cheese on your fish sandwiches? I do. And an onion/dill/mayo sauce I make for fish and chicken patty sandwiches. (I buy Banquet. More chicken/less coating. Lower in carbs.) I could use one right now!
Trident brand is hands down the best frozen fish stick I have ever eaten. Costco has a 60ct bag I buy all the time. I make Fish tacos with these, adding fresh cabbage tossed in sriracha mayo or a fresh mixture of avocado and tzaziki sauce. Yum!
@@racingsquirrel238 never seen those, only the lightly breaded pollock sticks. We dont have a Kroger store in Baton Rouge but I think Kroger bought out Albertsons so they may change soon.
Fish sticks have a bad breading to fish ratio. Much better to get a larger piece of breaded fish, I love Gorton’s beer battered and also their fish sandwich ones, get some brioche buns from Walmart, a slice of cheese and some Trader Joe’s tartar sauce and you have an amazing fish sandwich!
I have to say Trident fish sticks are really good. I bought them at Whole Foods as they were on sale, quantity wasn't great but the taste was great! Although typically, I purchase Gorton's or Mrs. Paul.
I've tried them all here and the Trident Ultimate Fish sticks are the best to my taste. It's the main reason I keep my Costco card is to load up on Tridents fish sticks.
You must be very rich if you can afford to shop at Whole Foods. I went in there and found the exact same soups in a carton I normally pay $1.99 for at Grocery Outlet for almost $7.00 total rip-off!
@@sjordan7085I agree with you that many Items are more expensive, but check out the 365 products, I go to Whole Foods for several items, like their carb free items, like noodles, lactose free butter, they have the cheapest pasture eggs, I also buy several items from their salad bar, like roasted mushrooms, a good deal when you think how much they shrink when cooking, Also the Indian food is good and cheaper than a restaurant same with the Cuban pulled pork, their cupcakes are the best if you like real butter cream, and their fish are not cheap but very fresh, the same with their vegetables and a large variety of fruits, they last in the refrigerator, no waste , also I buy many types of greens to mix with my salads and the butcher shop always has some cuts on sale. I usually go there to get my health food items
Alas, here in Wisconsin and where you are in Texas, to these people we are flyover country. I’ve often noticed the same thing in taste tests on other channels. They’ll do a cheese comparison a day even though Wisconsin is a huge cheese producer, they won’t have brands from here. 🤷♂️
I really like Gorton fish products but I recently took a closer look at the ingredients in the breading which is listed on a separate paragraph on the packaging it amazed me that I'm eating a healthy fish with an ultra processed breading, so many chemicals......
The Gortons that I bought were mostly bread, hardly any fish in the 'fish' sticks at all - and not a lot better for the fish fillets. The frozen fish sticks at Trader Joe's are much better, and their fish fillets, too.
Gorton's works for me. I also buy the Fillet at Sam's Club. Use two to make a Fish Fillet Sandwich 🥪 Great Price for both Sticks and Fillet. We'll except for the Inflation. Thanks Biden and Harris. 😖
The problem, as with most processed food, is that for the amount of fat, sodium and calories, there is no nutritional value in these foods. It would be better to cook fresh fish at home. Add a vegetable, and you have a healthy meal. Happy Caturday
@@RealJonzuk Worms are protein. Fish eat worms. Cats eat fish. It's the circle of life! Once a week I feed my cats poached salmon (I eat it too) or a tin of sardines.
From listening to this it sounds like it’s largely based on “user reviews” online, rather than their own research. And user reviews have been notoriously unreliable and often manipulated. Any of us can play that game by just shopping online, and many of these brands aren’t even available in various areas anyway.
I purchased both and am not impressed with either!!! Van De Camps were just awful and tasted like mashed potatoes!!!! Gorton's were always good BUT haven't had them in along time and they weren't much better!!! Would NOT buy either again
Interesting, so people dont like fish that tastes fishy. Thats like saying i dont like beef to tase beefy or pork to taste porky. Chicken should taste like chicken.
RIDICULOUS video! Has the person posting this video ever actually PRICED ANYTHING at "Whole Paycheck Market"?? ABSURD! ANY of the others are preferable!!
Sticks? Does fish come in sticks? I suppose it does in the same way that chicken comes in nuggets. If you’re 10 years old maybe that’s okay but why not step up your game? I got some frozen breaded cod filets from Costco that were pretty good.
