Fish fingers, commonly known as fish sticks, are a popular processed seafood item made by coating strips of white fish, typically cod, haddock, or pollock, in breadcrumbs or batter before being fried or baked. Originating in the UK in the 1950s, these convenient food items are widely enjoyed globally, often served as a quick meal or snack. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids due to their fish content, they contribute to muscle repair and heart health. However, their nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation; fried versions are higher in calories and fat, while baked options are healthier. They can also contain added salt and preservatives, which may be a concern for some diets. Pairing them with vegetables or serving alongside a whole grain side dish can enhance their overall nutritional balance and make them a more wholesome choice.
