12 of the unhealthiest frozen fish sticks you can buy

Fisher Boy Fish Sticks is a product offered by major grocery brands like Walmart and Kroger, a store known for its high-quality fish. This product has the dubious honor of having the highest sodium content per serving in this entire article: a 109-gram serving of the fish sticks contains a shocking 640 milligrams of sodium, 28% of an adult’s daily needs. This is a huge portion of an adult’s sodium intake, especially considering that this portion comes from just eight sticks.

To make matters worse, a 109-gram serving of Fisher Boy Fish Sticks also contains two grams of saturated fat. That’s 10% of an adult’s daily value, so again, a lot for a small amount of food. To put those numbers in perspective, that 109-gram serving of Fisher Boy Fish Sticks contains the same amount of saturated fat and almost two and a half times more sodium than a medium serving of McDonald’s French fries.

Fisher Boy Fish Fingers contain a considerable amount of micronutrients. While the 109-gram portion does not contain vitamin D, it does contain 40 milligrams of calcium, 1.8 milligrams of iron and 340 milligrams of potassium. These amounts correspond to 4%, 10% and 8% of an adult’s daily requirement. However, the fish fingers are heavily processed. Not only do they consist of a mixture of four different types of fish, but the ingredients list also contains several flavors and colorings.
