As someone who has tried fish sausages, I just wanna say...anyone who thinks there's a strong demand for fish sausages hasn't tried fish sausages

Perhaps there are different kinds? If they are anything like fish balls, I can imagine they're good in some dishes, although perhaps not appetizing on their own.

  Huh. I have fish balls in white sauce with potatoes on the side all the time. Sprinkled with some curry. One of my favorite dishes. But after thinking about it I think I understand. I would never eat one fish ball on it’s own. That sounds disgusting. On the other hand, a butter sautéed fish cake is delicious. And a fish cake is more or less the same as a fish ball, just a bit different shape.

  Fish balls are great street foods

I'm sure no matter where you go, there is at least one type of food that wouldn't be eaten by most of the rest of the world.

  Yep, in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US, we have Scrapple. it's the rest of the pig that doesn't end up as sausage. The tagline reads "Everything but the oink"

    I think this is more of the case of "all regions have some food item that they project as their 'signature' dish but is almost more of a prank". I don't think I know anyone in Pennsylvania that actually likes scrapple.

      I enjoy scrapple. Fried slices on their own are not too bad, but it really shines as the meat in a breakfast burrito. It’s certainly better than SPAM.

        SPAM is widely enjoyed throughout Hawaii. SPAM musubi is great.

      I’m not in PA but I’m from there. Scrapple is delicious. Fry it on both sides to give it some texture and it’s even better.

I’ve recently had a smoked trout sausage dish in a restaurant. It was amazing, and really hit the textures of a sausage with a great twist on the flavor. There’s definitely potential.

I've had fish sausages from a street food vendor when visiting Greifswald, Germany a few years back and they were delicious! But these were "artisanal" rather than industrially produced to be the cheapest source of protein.
