Almost scared to ask, but where do fishsticks rank on the food police hierarchy of junk?

[CantSleepWontSleep]

Because dd (15 months and quite particular about what she eats) seems to have taken a liking to them!

I'm talking about those crabstick things (that don't actually contain much crab) not fish fingers in case there's room for confusion.

I know they have some crap in them, but do also contain a fair bit of fish.

Would you feed them to your dc?

Ah - X posted, will take a look.

Aitch - dd sadly won't touch salmon (except to pick it up and throw it on the floor ).

e120 is carmine / cochineal

crushed beetles, or I think there is a synthetic one?

How many sticks does she eat? A child aged 1-3 is recommended to have 0.8 g of salt per day

bummer. what's she like with fish fingers? i used to crack open the bread stuff and eat most of it myself {blush] leaving her with the actual fish.

Oerfer to eat crushed beatles than synthesised crap tbh, at least they are natural.

sorry I thought your post said 0.5g per stick

bugger this I am too stupid to make any sense today

CSWS my considered opinion is they are A Bit Crap But Not Yet Proven To Be Appalling Crap

is the fish all slurrified? I don't understand fish

Govmnt advice is up to 2g of salt per day franny (0.8g sodium).

Fish fingers, errr, throws them on the floor!
She did eat a fish curry last week, but I was needing a quick meal, so it was sauce from a jar, which prob negates the goodness of the fish!

yes I did mean sodium oh dear another mistake

they will confiscate my Hat at this rate

I think that's a fair judgement Franny, and am happy with the outcome of my thread .

My work here is done

I think they are OK and I and dds do have the M&S ones occasionally. However it is very easy to make your own - mashed potatoes, poached salmon/cod/whatever fish you choose, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley (opt), you could even use tinned salmon (according to Annabel Karmel ). They can be frozen too.

ds2 loves crab sticks, I dont let him have them very often tho (I cant stand the smell of them )

Whoops, sorry I misread your op, I thought you were talking about fishCAKES

I love fish but I have never been tempted bythese..sort of don't understand them, do you heat them up?

They are excellent in sushi with avocado. DS (2) and I are big fans of DH's homemade sushi.
