I only bought them as it's been forever since I had fish sticks. Just thought they would be good while confined. My neighbor will enjoy since we divided the stash.

Hominy and sausage is good, for those that enjoy the occasional treat :o)

Might have to try fish tacos, which sounds good.

Glenda, they are best with flour tortillas.

Yes to fish tacos. When I'm lazy I use the Van De Camp's breaded cod fillets and cook them in my air fryer. Add lettuce, siracha, guacamole, sour cream, soft corn tortilla. If not lazy I'll use Tilapia fillets breaded and fried.

My son grew up on fish sticks and chicken strips. He always had to have apple sauce to dip them in.

We used to have fish sticks every Friday growing up. I still eat Trader Joes fish nuggets, they are made of pieces of Alaskan pollock. Enjoy glenda, that was generous of you to give your neighbor some.

It's funny, when I was a kid fish sticks were something that we only saw at school and thought of them as a luxury food! LOL! We never had them at home. When I left home I started getting them because I could but gradually grew to dislike them. If I knew that there was a good one out there I'd try them again, though. BTW, I just bought 2 packages of Polish sausage because it was BOGO at Publix. I have no problem eating sausage, especially when the meat counter was pretty much empty as of today. We still have meat in the freezer but I'm trying to hold off using it until it's absolutely necessary. And I also bought some of those Edward's frozen dessert pies, the packages with 2 slices in them. I bought 4 different kinds. If all the food-Nazi-fat-shamers want to wag their fingers at me, I say to them "have a party with your expensive healthy organic whatevers and leave me alone".

Tonya, I wholly agree with you but I've learned that there are people on this forum who like to stir the pot and then step back and wait for the following s#%! show. In fact they are probably reading this and getting their weird little thrill from it right this minute. The sad part is there are actually times when these same people impart some wisdom that is useful, helpful, even friendly but they then return to the agitating comments immediately after. Actually I've noticed that a lot of the old-timers who regularly post on this forum have just learned to totally ignore the comments of these people and they are the smart ones of the bunch.

I prefer cocktail sauce, most times, with my fish instead of tartar sauce. This is Martha Stewart's which I always use.

Cook's Notes

If using prepared horseradish, reduce the amount of lemon juice to one tablespoon.

I second, third or fourth fish tacos. Soft taco shells, fish sticks baked til crunchy, tartar sauce and lettuce. Yum. Enjoy Glenda. Really nice of you to share with your neighbor. Taco party!!!

Glenda, I doubt that it was your intent, but you made me see the humor in your situation. 120 fish sticks for one person!? My goodness!

Very nice to share them with your neighbor. That's what it's all about during this very strange situation we all find ourselves in; people reaching out and helping each other. Good for you!

And, let me add my vote for fish tacos. That sounds like a terrific way to use them up. When we make them, we garnish with shredded cabbage, a tartar like mayo based sauce that we season with chili powder and cumin, slices of lime (squeeze juice over tacos) and slices of avocado and tomato on the side. Hubby likes corn tortillas and I prefer flour.

I hope you get to have your hominy and sausage at a later date. I have two cans of hominy in my pantry and I would be happy to send one to you if you continue to be unable to find it in your area. Just let me know if you'd like me to do that and I'll put it in the mail tomorrow.

Rubio's fish tacos - something I definitely miss about San Diego!

I saw a grocery coupon and a sale price for breaded butterflied shrimp. For some reason, maybe the prolonged stretch of gloomy weather, this triggered a major craving! Which I gave in to and completely enjoyed. I hadn't had any breaded frozen fish of any sort for a few years although I eat fish and shrimp regularly.

Now fish stick tacos are sounding really good.

Thanks, Dawn, for your offer. Friend works part time at Publix and is on the lookout for hominy when it comes in, and will get for me. I had not idea hominy would go fast and surprised WalMart was out of stock.

I had my first hominy with sausage a while back.. It was smoked sausage cut into slices then heated with the hominy. Really tasty.

tonya, I don't sit in the audience and yell Hallelujah when the rest of the crowd does. I look for irony, humor, or a different perspective about what people say. Sometimes people can't see the forest for the trees and I like to share my observations in such times. If you've missed or haven't taken note of the many posts I make in an effort to show humor or irony, well, then that's how it is.

Another person might have said "I mistakenly ordered sausage but thank goodness they put in healthier fish sticks instead". That was what struck me.

The boo birds are welcome to boo. It's a predictable reaction from the same old, same old predictable participants.

Phbfttt>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I am a fish stick fan myself :-) Or even better, frozen fish fillets. During my college days, I would fix them and make into a fish sandwich, with a slice of melted cheese and tartar sauce on a toasted bun......ala McDonald's. That's still is a bit of a comfort food meal for me!

Me too about frozen fish sticks or battered fish (really the same thing) as an occasional treat. Though, less occasional now as we work down our freezer stock.

Cheese and fish are a no-no for me. Not even different courses in the same meal, it's a flavor clash I dislike.

I only like the cheese on a fish sandwich. There is actually a seafood restaurant nearby that serves a fish sandwich exactly as I described. It is what I always order when I go there but that's not gonna happen again any time soon!!

gardengal, could you get one to go?

I love Seafood Lasagna, Shrimp and grits, Salmon Quiche, Shrimp pasta, and a lot of other dishes that while they don't have cheese, have enough cream to qualify.

I'm not a huge fish fan. I like frozen fish sticks and fish filets... probably because of the breading. I make a simple fish taco with packaged coleslaw from the produce section and the fresh made flour or corn tortillas from the deli section.

I have frozen tortillas I had bought to make breakfast tacos. May have to see if we have any fish.

I'm okay with butter in a reduction sauce on fish or as with scampi but not cream or cheese.

We have a favorite fish restaurant within easy driving distance at the beach on the local wharf. For local catch, they have killer grilled (not deep fried) calamari steaks and Pacific snapper (rock cod). One of the accompaniments offered is baked potato. While I enjoy baked potato with sour cream, I never have it there, the combo doesn't work for me. .

sephia, I probably could :-) But that involves a drive into town, which I am avoiding these days unless I have other in-town errands to run. Most everything I need I can get locally so I am staying put!

Their fish sandwich uses fresh - not frozen - cod (or halibut in season), light battered and with a hunk of Tillamook cheddar. And is really delectable :-))

I have never bought fish sticks or patties. I remember the fish sticks in the cafeteria from my childhood. They were not very good ones so not a good memory. I do really like the McDonald's fish sandwich, about the only thing I eat from there. I haven't had one in a long long time, might have to get one soon. I have bought the breaded filets and they were pretty good. I can get good fresh fish locally and I do get that frequently we love fish.

I have never had hominy and sausage together but good sausage is one of our favorites. I generally stock up on fresh made smoked sausage at my favorite meat store in Louisiana when I get down there. It's just the best I have ever eaten.

I love the idea of fish tacos. I have no fish sticks presently but have fish fillets, do I need to bread them or can I just sauté them until cooked and put inside a tortilla with the usual lettuce, sour cream, cheese and maybe salsa?

The quality of fish sticks seems to vary quite a bit from one brand to another. Cheaper ones can be dreadful, better ones quite good. Like so many other things, price can be a guide.

A seafood brand we like a lot is Trident. It's a Seattle based company whose frozen products mostly come from Alaskan waters. We like many of the fish/fish stick products (cod and pollock) and their salmon burgers are quick and good for a meal.

Tonya Yoder 👍!

haha if that happened to me I would have refused the substitution. I promised myself when I was a young teenager that I would never eat another fish stick if I could help it and so far I haven't. We had them for supper and lunch way too often growing up. The ones we had were the sticks of fish with a crumb coating.

Got REFUND on those fish sticks.

If there is an issue with your order you can click the order and why you were dissatisfied. I clicked poor quality.

Had them with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes for lunch, today, and they were much much better than those fish sticks.

Do enjoy fish sticks, but NOT the ones they substituted.

Glenda, Just for my FYI, what brand do you like? I used to like them, but the ones I have tried on and off just didn't get it.

By the way, I'm impressed you even got a time. I can't get a time for delivery or pickup, LOL.

Lucille, you can make fish tacos with either grilled fish or breaded fish. Most restaurants that serve fish tacos offer a choice in the preparation of the fish. My hubby always orders grilled and I always order breaded. Make 'em however you prefer your fish to be prepared, top them with whatever you like and enjoy!

I ordered Gorton's, but they were out of stock, so I ordered Mrs Pauls, which they substituted. I should have marked DO NOT SUBSTITUTE.

At least I got a refund.

I did have a hard time getting a time for pickup. First try, there were none, but tried again in 12 hrs and got one pickup time between 5-6 yesterday evening.

Arby's has pretty decent fish sandwiches, which are made to order. They have a special right now 2 for $6 with fish, lettuce and tartar sauce OR you can get their fish and cheddar for a bit more. I like their fish and cheddar

??????????????

donate to a shelter?

That looks good Glenda. I see that A & W has a Cod Burger for a short time. We're pretty lucky with an ocean at our doorstep and boat in our yard to catch all the fresh fish (cod, halibut, sole ...,) we want. Kind of spoils us for fast food or even restuarant fish. I love almost all sea food 😁!

Here you go Elmer. Enjoy.

OK, glenda....that's not fair at all!! It's lunchtime here and I am starving and that fish sandwich looks SO good!! But no fish sticks in my freezer and the closest Arby's is miles away.

I may have to trek into town soon after all to get one to-go from my favored fish place :-) There is a McDonald's close by but they come in a distant third...or fourth.

ETA: Elmer, why do you think these posts are directed specifically at you? YOU may not like cheese with your fish but there are plenty of us that do!! Feel free to ignore - not disparage - those posts you don't like.

The fish sandwich in the middle is their special 2 for $6. Haven't tried the King's Hawaiian.

While reading, I was working on a possible response, something along the line of, "Not to claim that yours looks like a fishy story - but I think that WM pulled a "stick-up" on ya!".

Then ... it appears that there's more to the story.

Hope you enjoy your fish(y) sticks, glenda ... and your neighbour hers/his!

ole joyfuelled ... no supplementary fuelling by fish sticks for some time - (that I can remember)

All this talk of fish sticks , sent me on a search for nutritional info on fish sticks. Gortons doesn't look too bad. I was happy to see that they are whole Alaska pollock fillets rather than ground up fish. I also liked that the only ingredients are fish, bread crumb coating (plus whatever is in the bread crumbs which also didn't sound too bad) and vegetable oil. At 230 calories for four sticks, that's a fairly diet friendly meal especially if served with a salad or side of veggies. Even the sodium content was a fairly reasonable 430mg out of the recommended guidelines of less than 2300 mg per day (courtesy of the Mayo Clinic website).

Gortons Fish Sticks

Nutritional Info

I might just have to pick some of those up when I go to the store tomorrow, provided I can find them.

Good luck on finding Gorton's.

Yea, I know, but one can hope! :-)

My Walmart had Gorton's, but not Mrs. Paul, go figure.

Glenda! Seeing your name has made my day! This is Luckeyme from the old Kitchen Table. I remember you and so many of the others. So much to catch up on. (((Hugs))) & sending you my love for now.

Big time love and hugs, Luckeyme! Those were the GOOD OLE DAYS!

You'll recognize some of the faces. Some are no longer with us :o(

The below was taken at Buzzard's in Texas

A seafood brand we like a lot is Trident

Yes! Trident fish sticks from Costco are wonderful!

Fish sticks are nice occasionally--you were kind to share with your neighbor! Why is it so hard to find hominy?

I love that picture--some of the nicest people on the planet. I especially miss my dear friend Nita.

Those pics bring back some truly wonderful memories. Enjoy your fish sticks. It was so nice of you to share them. You always were a class act.

Second the fish sticks from Costco. Great in the air fryer.

I did get the refund on the substituted fish sticks from Wal Mart.
