Costco and frozen fish

11 years ago

I want to get some fish sticks (patties?) to keep on hand for fishwiches for those nights I don't feel like cooking.

Is there a brand that's better than others out there.

Any other frozen convenience-type meals that will fill him up and I can just toss in the oven when he calls and says he's on his way home? He's working until 7 or 8 p.m. lately and I don't want to cook, or eat, that late.

I have found there are"fish patties" that are ground up bits of who knows what.....and others that are "breaded fish portions"....that's what I keep in my freezer.

For other quick meals, you can grill chicken breasts and freeze them and just warm in the micro...you can make egg biscuits...split biscuits ( not yeast rolls!) add a slice of ham, an egg scrambled in a large custard cup in the micro, a slice of cheese, salt and pepper. Wrap in parchment or waxed paper then into a plastic bag....you can nuke them still frozen in the parchment.
Make lasagna and freeze squares in serving size portions.....reheat in the micro. Freeze portions of meat and gravy.....heat and serve on bread.

Costco has an awesome chili lime Talapia in the frozen section. Would make a great sandwich!

LOL! I wonder how many times I have mentioned Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel surgery, muscle spasms, etc. etc.. I have trouble crushing the sides of a child proof lid, let alone those hard bits. A hammer might do the job but it doesn't sink and the babies don't get any because it winds up in the skimmer or rotting among the stems where it collects because it doesn't break the surface tension. Nancy is right about the way the big guys become vacuum cleaners sucking up what ends up on the bottom. Sometimes a red crisp is missed, (I don't know why) but the big guys use their tails to make waves that wash the trapped crisps back where they can be eaten or they climb into the pots and guzzle down the crisps until they are gone. If they miss anything, the guppies are gathered in there at feeding time anyhow. It's funny to watch the acrobatics of the big guys getting over the rim of a pot. I used to have a koi that would climb onto floating lily pads to get to what landed on the pads. Does anyone know why the red crisps are passed by until everything else is gone? It is the last thing eaten in the aquariums, too. Sandy

Paula, Do you have the executive membership--think that is what it is called--I only started getting the coupons after I signed up for that card. I get a rebate check back each year that pays for the difference in the regular membership and the executive membership so I am really out nothing extra to get the few extras the executive membership gives you. I usually save at least $30 or more each time I use their coupons. The coupon this month is for the Wild Alaska Salmon Oil capsules. I buy the Kirkland Natural Fish Oil Omega 3 Concentrate softgels. You can usually use the coupon on more than one item so I stock up--get 2 or 3 each time so I don't run out before the next coupon comes out. I think I ended up paying something like $8.99 for 400 softgels the last time I bought it. Sheila

Fish sticks. The 'hot dog' from the sea. What's in those things anyway? Fish heads and fins - all held together with salt and grease as glue. Oh how I remember having to force those things down every Friday when I was a kid. I could never understand the rule having to be punished by eating fish sticks on Fridays. Then when I was older I learned that the rule was to eat fish on Friday not fish sticks. My mother thought fish was too expensive to serve. I think fish sticks were a dollar for ten pounds back then. They stunk like fish but tasted like putting a penney in your mouth. They always had freezer burn. My mother only ever bought canned veggies so the fish sticks really brought out the metallic taste of the canned stuff served with them too, so the whole meal was ruined.

Scallops wrapped in bacon, mini corn dogs with a mustard dip, egg rolls cut into smaller sections with sweet and sour dipping sauce, croissants Sliced open with thin shaved ham and sandwich spread, the brownie bites are good, they have these chicken pieces on skewers I think they are teriyaki flavor they are good. And of course their Boiled shrimp are very good.

Our favorite is the salmon burgers made by Trident.

On days when he is home cook for an extra person and freeze the extra portion. Roasts and whole chickens can be sliced and frozen with freezer paper between the layers and taken out to make hot sandwiches or stir fries

Sliced Peameal bacon or pork tenderloin sliced 1 1/2 inch thick and pounded and breaded and frozen only takes a minute to cook or cook it all ahead of time and just reheat.

As a side dish try bean salad or a cole slaw that can be kept for a week in the fridge

I second the Trident suggestion - salmon burgers, panko breaded tilapia, and the "ultimate" fish sticks (this is really what they are called). They are all US produced products. We get them at Giant Eagle locally.
