Product Review: Fishless Filet
The Republic of V is a vegan store on University Ave, Berkeley. The have all kinds of tasty things I haven't tried before, including this new product by Gardein. I was raised on fish sticks because my Dad worked in a fish stick factory when I was growing up. Consequently, I was overcome with a wave of nostalgia when I saw these.
Sadly, they are not that great. It's not that they're bad, it's just that they're not that good either. The texture is more tofu-y than anything else, and the flavor was totally bland and nondescript. I found that they're mostly good as a substrate for ketchup or BBQ sauce, tartare would work well too. 4/10
Oh Charlie! Maybe it's your upbringing in the fish stick world, but we find these Gardein fishless filets dy-no-mite! It is one of our favorites, topped off with vegan tartar sauce for my Charlie and extra spicy cocktail sauce for me. We like all of the Gardein products, as we find them a happy compromise when I don't feel like making tofu or seitan.
