Some great food mentions last night.
I have indeed thought about fish sticks these past few years, and yes, Gorton is the big brand name in my stores for all frozen fish and shrimp things. We like their popcorn shrimp and I did try some fish filets a couple of years ago and really liked them. I thought they were awfully small, so a package of them was practically a "serving" for the likes of me, but they were good. I'll be happy to pick up their fish sticks sometime soon.
As might have been the case with most of us, fish sticks meant Fridays in the elementary schools, and perhaps beyond. We dutifully ate them, and also for some of us, that was our "seafood". I don't even remember when I first had a bite of anything else seafood-wise, but it was definitely after leaving home for school. My dad got into various seafood items when we lived in Florida, but to her dying day, my mother wouldn't go near anything except breaded fried shrimp. Maybe shrimp cocktail, not sure now.
