Fish sticks are one of the cheapest sources of meat. They're like chicken nuggos but somehow have an even worse ratio of fried breading to meat. A large chunk of Americans prefer to not eat fish, aside from Salmon. But I wouldn't go thinking there's anything special about fish sticks.
That being said, I have a hazy memory of, as a broke college student, thinking I should buy fish sticks because fish is good for you and my diet was bad and it was affordable...
- slfnflctd 6y agoIt was a regular purchase for me when I was struggling to make ends meet, and I know I wasn't the only one. Anything to add more variety. Cheap fishstick sandwiches with bakery outlet bread, mayo and hot sauce. Maybe some lettuce if I was feeling a little uptown. It wasn't until I got into looking at macronutrients that I realized this meal was mostly low quality carbs & fats. Nonetheless, for some reason I still have semi-fond memories. The power of marketing indeed.
