Fish sticks yay or nay?

We want to try giving the kids more fish. Anyone give their kids fish sticks? Like the Gordon’s brand? I’ve never had a fish stick

Gorton's fish sticks were my oldest's (and pickiest) favorite dinner for a long time. I just squirt on fresh lemon. Now my 3yo likes them but not the older one.

My mom fishes so we eat a lot of fresh fish in summer but no luck getting the kids to eat it yet. I've tried homemade fish sticks but no dice.

I think Dr. Praegers make little fun shaped ones you could check out too.

They’re not bad. I don’t know how good for you they are if they are the breaded cod ones vs fresh fish... but they are a good transition for kids that may love chicken nuggets and certainly aren’t bad for you!

Try branzino. My kids (all 3) love it and it’s a non fishy tasting fish. If you aren’t a chef (I don’t like cooking fish), this is pretty popular at Greek restaurants.

When I was a kid I hated fish sticks. But we recently tried them in our air fryer and they weren't bad - they got nice and crispy. My 5 year old still didn't like them, but my 2 year old did.

My kids like fish, and for a quick dinner, I will do the Gorton's grilled filets. I've also bought fish from Shop Rite and had them cook it while I shop. My kids do like fish sticks, but I'm more likely to buy the filets because they have less breading and more fish.

My DS used to eat those! I haven’t bought them in so long and forgot they exist but now that I have a newborn at home and need simple dinners back in my life again, I hope he’ll wrill agree to eat them haha.

If you want to introduce fish why not just try a mild white fish like cod- my daughter loves fish but will not touch fish sticks. She doesn’t really eat breaded foods.
