Even though I have seen rave reviews about these, I was still a bit sceptical. My mother picked some up and all I can say is...WOW! The texture is about as close to fish as you're ever going to get with a vegan product and the taste was incredible! I made home made vegan tartar sauce with Earth Balance mayo, sweet relish, yellow mustard and lemon juice and they would have passed for haddock to even the biggest fish lovers!
If I could give it a 10 out of 5 that still wouldn't be enough. It reminds me of going to the fish fry with my dad every Friday when I was younger. Even hubby, who actually worked in the seafood department at our work, said it was good, of course, for being vegan. Haha. My 5 year old scarfed it down. He is vegan, hubby is not. I wish I could order 10 at a time, but it seems theres always no more than 3 or 4 available. Have to have a lot of these on hand for me. Highly recommended.
Nice coating on the outside and tender "meat" on the inside. No fishy flavor at all, yet the "meat" has the exact texture of your famous fish brands, such as Gorton's or Mrs. Paul's. There's absolutely no difference between these fillets and the non-vegan versions other than being cruelty-free. I'm glad I tried these out. I baked mine in the toaster oven and finished them off in a hot skillet to crisp the outside. No added oil at all.
I was a bit hesitant to try another 'fish' substitute, as those I have tried in the past were either over-the-top, "fishy" from too much nori/kombu type flavoring, or so full of konjak, they could have doubled as super balls,(and konjak does not have a fabulous flavor)! Gardein's version is so different, and so close to what I remember fish sticks tasting like, I had to double-check the ingredients. I served them in 'fish' tacos, and an omni was amazed.
I can't get enough of these.....I loved fish before going veg/vegan 10 years ago. These little beauties are the bomb!!!
