I kind of feel the same, despite loving various fried fish. As an example, there is a place near me that makes fried catfish that is amazingly good. And yes, the breading is really what we enjoy but when the amount of fish within it is bigger, it brings more of whatever the fish flavor may be as well as the consistency. Getting it just right is hard enough with fried fish, I just don’t see how machine made fish sticks would ever come out well. Don’t they have to par cook them before freezing?
I liked the fish sticks from Costco, last time I had them about 11 years ago or so. My wife is not a fan, so I haven’t had any since I got married, but I remember the Costco fishsticks being more than just pure breading unlike most of the others.
The main thing was just how easy it was to make a fried fish sandwich, essentially. Just heat them in the toaster oven. Then heat some toast with sharp cheddar until it melts. Then add the fish sticks, tartar sauce, maybe a pickle or two, maybe some lettuce if you have some. Great fried fish sandwich.

Man that sounded good. I haven’t had a good fish po’ boy sandwich in quite a while.
This one was posted on Serious Eats back during COVID and I think I drooled on the screen.
Fill it about half way with vodka and it might be pretty good.
I tried it, and it’s interesting. Pickle-y, sweet, and I think it had lime flavor? Very refreshing, but I stopped enjoying it after 5-6 sips. I feel like any more than that and my body was going to start rejecting it. My family said it made their stomachs feel a little off.
Hot dog flavored popsicles.

I’m reporting this to the authorities.
I had a visceral repulsive response.

I will often think to myself, I would try that.
No. Oh hell no.
That’s a no from me, dawg.
The Toronto Star sent 3 reporters to the Canadian National Exhibition with $90 of mad money to spend on whatever struck their fancy and they all bought the ketchup and mustard ice cream. The results were not surprising.

I can’t wait to have the “don’t cook chicken with nyquil and eat it” conversation with my kids. Maybe I just need a “don’t do tiktok challenges” conversation instead to cover all my bases.
NyQuil’s really more of a red meat pairing. For something light like chicken or fish, I’d recommend DayQuil.

I personally prefer to stuff a quail with Codeine 3s. Pair it with Purple Drank.

I like the “FRESH” as if someone eating a ball of beefy mac & cheese cares about freshness.
