It’s a characteristic of the food industry, which is shaped by business practices where big names will only sell their (fish finger) product next to acceptable other products that don’t challenge their brand, in combination with the high bar of meeting food regulations to protect consumers which makes it hard to invent processed food and of also getting consumers to try new food things. Not many people are food adventurous especially for fish type produce which is high risk.
- vkou 5y agoWhat makes fish type produce high risk? Given that fish don't share as much biology with us as mammals do, I thought that there are far fewer fish parasites that can both survive cooking, and are harmful to humans. Is the concern here that fish spoils faster?
- bobthepanda 5y agoI think that the concern is more about consumers and risk aversions. Fish, particularly anything with "fishy" taste, is looked down upon in some cultures. It's also not really cheaper than other kinds of meat, so you kind of get the worst of both "a lot of people have a dislike of fish" and "it's expensive".
