Beloved by some, merely tolerated by others, the fish stick became ubiquitous—as much an inevitable food rite of passage for kids as a Western cultural icon. There’s an entire South Park episode devoted to riffing off the term fish stick, and the artist Banksy featured the food in a 2008 exhibit. When Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 90th birthday, in 2016, Birds Eye presented her with a sandwich that included blanched asparagus, saffron mayonnaise, edible flowers, caviar, and—most prominently—gold-leaf-encrusted fish sticks.

20 years later, they would not have gone anywhere—but with the old Catholic abstinence on Friday, and ultra-cheap way of having fish on hand for fast food restaurants as well as convenience for those going pre-processed food found a ready market.

I loke fish sticks. Pollock I think are best

I don’t eat them because my wife will not buy them

Well that's just pretty d**n rude.

Take some perfectly good fish sticks and ruin them like that and then give it to the Queen just to insult her. One would be sure that it had a gracious trip to the dumpster.

Fish sticks are the gateway drug to fish n chips.
