I can remember the days when fish sticks actually looked and
tasted like fish rather than being mostly breading.  I grew up
eating fish sticks.  They were a regular after school snack
when I was a teen, to tide me over until dinner since I didn't
bother to eat lunch at school.

I always liked Gorton's Fish Sticks and they are still on the
grocery shelves where I live.  Have you tried a different brand? 
I don't come on here complaining about Banquet frozen dinners.

Gorton's are terrible.

Mrs. Paul's brand are no better.  I haven't found a good brand of
fish sticks in ages.  Nor Banquet frozen dinners, since Mandrake
decided to bring those up.  I can't think of a single Banquet frozen
dinner I've looked for since... I don't remember when.

I can think of 2 and pretty sure they are banquet?  The simple cheap
pot pies, last bought at 89cents (it's been a while!).  And they make a
chipped beef in white gravy that Don likes for an occasional shift.

Neither are screamingly good but they hit the spot.

I used to eat a lot of those. The worst thing about them is that they
take so dang long to heat up. They also ain't so cheap anymore. They're
also super salty but that's not too much of a problem.
Last night I had steak with fried noodles. The steak was fried
teppanyaki style i.e., it was seared on both sides at high heat and then
cut into cubes and fried again at high heat. It's a super fast way to
cook a steak.
