Another fact about me and seafood? I had no idea there were so many varieties of frozen fish products! We generally buy Gorton's because it's what we had growing up so it's familiar, and I always try to grab something labeled "crunchy" because if there's anything worse than fish, it's soggy breaded fish. But Coconut Popcorn Shrimp? Fishin' Tater Sticks?? Who comes up with this stuff?
(Don't worry, the baby just got veggies since he's still a little bit too little for seafood. He did have fun watching everyone else taste test though!)
The Coconut Popcorn Shrimp was a hit with everyone, both toddler and gamma had a blast dipping it. The husband seemed to enjoy it most of all. I loved the coconut aroma it filled the house with- delicious! The Crunchy Tenders were my favorite by far- they were not only delicious but they had a serious crunch to them. I have honestly never had such crunchy breaded fish and will definitely be shopping for this brand regularly. We also sampled the Fishin' Tater Sticks- and while they were light and fluffy on the inside, and low of fishy flavor, they just didn't compare to the tenders. We did like them better than any other fish stick product, and I think they'd make a great choice for kinds who are reluctant to try seafood. The round shape is fun and kid-friendly and the lighter flavor of the sticks would make for a fun "dipping" themed meal.
All in all, we were impressed with not only the flavor but the quality as well. The only downside (for me) was that each of the products we tried had different cooking times- so it'd be easier to only make one or two items. On the other hand, everything cooked up fast, clean up was a breeze, and everyone enjoyed an easy made-at-home seafood meal- and it's hard to beat that!

Those Crunchy Tenders I mentioned...you can hear the crunch when you bite into them- awesome!
The shrimp sounds yummy!
