Asda Smartprice Seafood Sticks

I like to try and eat healthy foods during the week and sometimes I find myself struggling and wanting to pick up a chocolate bar or the like. To try and help with this problem I keep healthy 'snacky' foods around so I can pick at them. Andrew loves these seafood sticks and up until recentl, I couldn't see the appeal and the look of them just turned my stomach. The other day I decided to give them a whirl. Most people think that these are called crab sticks and therefore contain crab but this is not the case. They are made up of different white fish and crammed into a rectangle which is pink and white in colour. The pink in the sticks is really vibrant and I ...  Read the complete review

I have to say that the only reason I eat these things is because they were part of the Slimming World diet when I was on it, and they are a handy little snack when you're fighting off the cravings. So what are they? Do not make the mistake of thinking they have anything to do with crab; rather, they are made up of 'fish bits', which for the price they are conjures up images of a million fish bum-holes and eye sockets being squashed into stick shapes. Yes, it's a deceptive old thing the marketing of these, as they are simply 'crab flavoured' pieces of fish shaped as finger sized sticks. The taste is distinctly strong and fishy, which is good when ...  Read the complete review

Way back in the mists of time, my parents introduced me to a tasty treat whilst at the seaside. We stopped at a small seafood hut and they purchased some crab sticks. I was amazed at the little pink sticks each individually wrapped in a thin plastic sleeve. My little hands at the time struggled with the wrapper and my mum helped me out with it. Once unwrapped, I took a few moments to look at the strange new food substance in my hand, a small square sectioned stick, mainly white but with a pink outer on three of the sides. The only thing my young brain could liken it to was a stick of rock, but this was different as it was soft and squishy. I took a bit and was surprised ...  Read the complete review

Well my husband has just eaten an entire pack of these, so I decided to write a review on them. The product I will now review are "Asda's smart price 20 seafood sticks" We, (as in myself and my husband) have always been lovers of seafood. Our particular favourite being the little tubs of prawns, pinkies and crabsticks that can be purchased straight out of sea from the little mobile vans on holiday at the coast. Of course, the fact that many of the items we enjoy are low in fat and actually good for you is an added incentive! I have bought many different types of crabsticks or seafood sticks, as is the case this time, and I truly ...  Read the complete review

There certainly is alot of "Smart" about this Asda smartprice product, these things are absolutely delicious and great value. The price works out to something like a couple of pence each, or about 3p for two. It is just incredibly great value, even by Smartprice values. For the unitiated, these are great chopped up in salads, thrown into a stir fry, or just eaten as they are, as crabby flavoured snacks. Beware of the outer plastic sheath, I have almost eaten this more than once. (im greedy like that). Nutritionally these things are not bad for you neither. Low in calories, so naturally they are low in fat, high in protein. ...  Read the complete review
