Fish Sticks?

[THIN~BUT~FAT]

Today I had a crabstick and prawn salad with mayo. I bought this from the sarnie lady who comes round the office. However I thought I would make my own. Does anyone know if FISH or CRAB sticks as they are called here in the UK have any hidden carbs in them? I haven't gone shopping yet so haven't read the label but thought I would just ask to see if anyone knows.

They're not hidden at all. Fish and crab sticks are breaded.

Breaded?

Are you talking about those imitation crab thingys, that they try to make look like snow crab leg meat?

Ok, if this is what you're talking about then YES, its got alot of carbs, click on the link and then to the left pick any one of the products to get the nutritional info, the one I chose has 13 carbs per serving and a serving was only 2 pieces of the leg style ones! That's pretty carby!

I associated fish and crab "sticks" with those that I see in the store--like Vandekamp's or whatever. Those are battered and breaded with a breadcrumb seasoning mix that's loaded with carbs.

That sounds like what we call 'fish fingers'

this board is so good for this kind of info. i used to eat these alot when i tried atkins the first time around. never lost any wieght, now i know why

Lou, the fish sticks you are referring to do have quite a high carb count due to added sugars.

If we are thinking of the same things. Was there no list of ingredients on the side of the package?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your replys.

Now I understand what you mean by BREADED, LOL, no not the fish fingers.

I think RICHT has got the ones I mean. They are like pink and white, smooth and about 1inch wide and about 4 inches long.

No RICHT haven't gone shopping yet but will look when I go on Monday. Damn though, thought I had this wol cracked for a minute, lol
