Well, I guess if you consider &#8220;maritime life&#8221; to be breaded sticks of unidentifiable fish, then it does at least have that. And to answer your question if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen the Kayne West episode of &#8220;South Park&#8221;: Why yes, I do like fish sticks, thank you very much. <\/p>\n<p>However, these fish sticks were unfortunately very tiny, flaccid, and basically, &#8220;didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get the job done,&#8221; if you know what I mean. It might have helped if I had followed the conventional oven instructions, but what can I say? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a gal on the go and I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afford the precious 20-22 minutes it would have taken to cook them that way.<\/p>\n<p>The flavor of the sticks themselves were otherwise bland, since the unidentifiable fish was actually pollock, according to the packaging. Pollock is pretty much like the tofu of the animal kingdom since it has no flavor to speak of on its own, and is the key ingredient in most imitation &#8220;Krab&#8221; meats. The flavor was improved slightly by some homemade mayonnaise and relish tartar sauce I whipped up to go along with it. Just because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a gal on the go doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take pleasure in the details.<\/p>\n<p>Other than the fish sticks, the meal also contained a meager portion of corn, which was chewy, unsatisfying and still kind of cold. I was too apathetic to heat it back up though, since I figured thorough heating wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really improve the situation. There was also an equally meager portion of &#8220;Macaroni and Cheese <i>Sauce<\/i>,&#8221; which kind of threw me for a loop. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like when you get chocolate covered pretzels and the packaging says: &#8220;Chocolate Flavor Coated Pretzels.&#8221; Really? I know the flavor is chocolate. But what I really want to know is what exactly the hell is on this pretzel. At any rate, the macaroni with cheese sauce was adequate, because honestly how can you screw up mac \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcn cheese? <\/p>\n<p>Unless of course you put cut-up hotdogs in it like my boyfriend does. <i>Gross<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>The real excitement of the meal was a packet of three gummi sharks that came with it. They actually just tasted like normal gummies, albeit the kind of gummi that has that fluffy layer of white stuff on the bottom. My only complaint is that I got only one lime-flavored and two blue raspberry, when I would have preferred it the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>Kid Cuisine Deep Sea Adventure Fish Sticks are prefect for parents who love their children just how they are, because with continued consumption, the 500 milligrams of sodium should eventually effectively pickle your child thereby preventing any unnecessary aging. For an adult over the age of eight, on the other hand, I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recommend this meal since it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s basically totally unfulfilling and will make you go get your own personal tub of gummi zoo animals, which contains a much more satisfying amount of green gummies.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 meal &#8211; 390 calories, 12 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 500 milligrams of sodium, 55 grams of carbohydrates, 6 gram of fiber, 14 grams of sugar, 14 grams of protein and 8% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Kid Cuisine Deep Sea Adventure Fish Sticks<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $3.29<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 7.6 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> The Fresh Grocer<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 3 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> The Kanye West episode of &#8220;South Park.&#8221; Taking pleasure in the details.
