Tesco Value Seafood Sticks

Lurking in the fish section (and usually quite well hidden) the elusive value seafood stick dwells. At 68p for 16 ready to eat sticks (250g) this is a bargain snack for anyone who likes fishy things. In a slightly posher pack than the general value look - these sticks are in an ivory/cream coloured pack with a pretty photo on, these are the cheapest seafood sticks that Tesco's has to offer. Not that that says much, my local Tesco only stocks two different types! Once unwrapped, as you would expect these seafood sticks look like...well, seafood sticks! Half red and half white sticks of surimi fish protein with added crab flavouring (Don't they just ...  Read the complete review

I adore most fish, there actually aren't many types that I won't eat and I'm no snob when it comes to fish as this one food where you can tell from the appearance and smell whether it's suitable for eating so am happy to try the various Value fresh fish products in the supermarket.

This however does not bother me as they are yummy all the same! They come in a 250g pack which is equivalent to 16 sticks. The pack itself is cream in colour featuring some delicious looking seafood sticks draped across green ...  Read the complete review

I think I should be born in Japan or at least I should move there as soon as possible; I just love eating fish, be it steamed, grilled or raw. Sushi and sashimi is my big passion and you can find me several times a week buying little sushi kits for lunch. Unfortunately readymade sushi is incredibly expensive and flights to Japan even more. So the only alternative for me is preparing my own sushi, which might sound hard but is incredibly easy and can be lots of fun. What you need is glutinous rice, nori algae, fish of your liking and lots of fantasy. My favourite sushi is with seafood sticks on top and wrapped in dried nori algae; and thanks to Tesco ...  Read the complete review
