Fish sticks really ARE torture. I think they're the reason so many people grow up to dislike fish. :(
actually my kids don't mind the shrimp poppers which are mostly breading anyway, and they are light years better than the fishsticks. they won't eat real fish, which i did grow up to love. they have problems with the texture of it. i can do real shrimp for them, but they aren't wild about those either. i think Kung Pao shrimp from PFChangs would do the trick though! it is a real drag trying to eat out on Fridays in lent, and my husband will NOT eat seafood.
I wanna see a picture of the stick fish that fish sticks come from.
