For other confused Britons. Fish sticks = Fish Fingers != seafood sticks If you said fish sticks to most people in the UK, they'd think you were talking about these: https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/287149425 https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/287149425 A common gastro pub lunch time dish here in the UK is a posh fish finger sandwich, usually hand made fish fingers in a crusty white bread with a tartare sauce. https://images.squaremeal.co.uk/cloud/article/9374/images/best-fish-finger-sandwiches-london-fish-_08102019041416.jpg?w=1000 https://images.squaremeal.co.uk/cloud/article/9374/images/be...

Edit: seems to be the "rule of six". Best exceptions are country sports: hunting ("scaring the horses") and angling ("revising our knots"). Worst exceptions: canoeing/kayaking (too reminiscent of american beer) and gymnastics (unless one is the Duke of York?).

At least tesco tells the truth. In the US those would be called imitation crab sticks. Where imitation would be in a small font that isn’t noticeable at first glance. Crab flavored cod sticks.

    This fails to demonstrate that "imitation would be in a small font that isn’t noticeable at first glance". It's always prominent, and often part of the single most prominent piece of text on the package. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/8945736565554256086?q=imitation+crab&prds=epd:6302549918652992457,prmr:1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj69-ziz_rrAhUMr54KHRVIBsYQ8wII3gM#sgro=om https://www.google.com/shopping/product/8945736565554256086?...

For the financially distressed you can also make a serviceable fish finger sandwich with toasted and buttered thick white sandwich bread and a scrape of Pataks curry paste. Iceland do 28 “prison grade” fish fingers for £2, and you can ‘cook’ them in a microwave for the same time it takes to do the toast.

This USian was quite a few decades old before realizing that Four of fish and finger pie might not be a strange British delicacy.

  Heh...I assume you do know the meaning now. Got a chuckle when I learned that as well.
