we made some yesterday. the tartar sauce was already
made from the last time we had them. it aged very well.
i decided i did not want breakfast food or cold food
this morning so had some of the leftover fish sticks
and tartar sauce for breakfast.
i also had some limeaide aka what i call grog but
basically it is ground up limes with the worst of the
hard skins removed. not very sweet but some sugar was
added. i use the stick blender to juice the limes
(after peeling) so it has a lot of fiber left in it.
it is a nice chance once in a while from tangerines or
apples.
i don't care particularly if the fish sticks are
soggy or not (they do come from the ocean after all...)
as long as they taste ok - which these did. the tartar
sauce is mostly what i care about and that is about half
dill pickles.

I am practically sure that BRYAN is drooling about this fabulous meal
you whipped up...
Lol...

You were not paying attention, Greg. Songbird did say that any
sort of fish would do, but it was the aged half dill pickle
tartar sauce that made it great, NOT something whipped-up.
Now if we only knew what was in the other half ....

Jesus, I can't imagine what you made the "fish sticks" out
of after hearing about the limeaide and ..."the tartar sauce
was already... aged very well".
You're literally describing my 12th grade fuck-friend. I
literally ate microwaved Price Club Chicken tenders all year
long - and the above.
I loved those Price Club tenderloins.

It's a good thing you don't care much about the fish sticks, although
how could they be anything but soggy if they're drenched in tartar
sauce? IMO Gorton's fish sticks aren't very good. Mrs. Paul's aren't
much better.

steak fries and tartar sauce is really freaking good
and the same if there is some good cole slaw (no tartar
sauce needed at all in that case - the cole slaw becomes
the tartar sauce and the tater sauce).

Actually, in an air fryer, Gorton's fish sticks are pretty good.
Nicely crispy and moist inside. Air fryers are odd that way.

I love tartar sauce on fries! I rarely make my own and it's just
chopped picles and mayo, I like the tip on dehydrated onions and will
try that.

for the first round when they are fresh baked they
are very crunchy even with tartar sauce on them, they
only get soggy being in a container in the fridge
overnight. we usually bake them extra to get them
really crunchy. the next day, well, soggy, it's fine
they still taste ok to me. i'm not picky about
textures as much as Mom is. i could probably eat them
frozen from the package...

I'm not really much on ketchup. We only use it occasionally. Now and
again, I'll do a mash-up with 2 spoons mayo, scant spoon ketchup, 1
spoon mustard, some fine minced onions (raw, must be raw) and mix it
all up.

breading than fish! It's thinner than shake-n-bake original.

no, we're not jumping on that bandwagon. we don't have
counter space for more gadgets and we don't really cook
like that often enough to bother. when we do cook we're
cooking larger amounts of things (often several loads
of pans through the oven) and then freezing portions or
giving it all away.

a relish of sorts or a sauce. no biggie.
it's actually quite common to mix mayo and ketchup.
of all places to find it i did not expect to find it
in the Bahama's but there it was to go along with the
conch fritters.
for me mayo, fresh onion and ketchup work best on a
cheeseburger off the grill with slices of tomato. i
don't really like mustard on burgers for some strange
reason - i do like it on other things.

One generally gets what one pays for and I think $10 is reflected in

then about 7 air fried. Nice, moist chicken with great crispy skin.
I have felt guilty the last years turning on the oven just for me, now
I have the solution with the air fryer. I had a smaller cheaper one
which I gave to a friend and purchased a larger one. The friend is
saying now she has tested it out well she is thinking she will pass it

I don't know what to make of that statement.
My read is that its capacity isn't large but it takes up an
inordinate amount of space in a small kitchen.

I have felt guilty the last years turning on the oven just for me, now
I have the solution with the air fryer. I had a smaller cheaper one

So I suspect, your $10 one was not a good introduction to an air

It's incredibly small and yet it takes up a lot of space.

Yup. I just call it a dipping sauce but 'relish' isn't far off. I
tend to have 'bread-n-butter' pickle chips with it. (that may be a
regional name, not sure. It's a little sweet but below sweet pickles
with a nice briny vinegar finish).
it's actually quite common to mix mayo and ketchup.
of all places to find it i did not expect to find it
in the Bahama's but there it was to go along with the
conch fritters.
Here;s a variation: use Jufran banana sauce (mild, medium or hot) in
place of the ketchup.
for me mayo, fresh onion and ketchup work best on a
cheeseburger off the grill with slices of tomato. i
don't really like mustard on burgers for some strange
reason - i do like it on other things.
songbird
That's fair. I often skip the mustard on cheeseburgers. Don't hate me
but I usually skip the tomato. What I did like was the earthy beetroot
slices in OZ that they use.

Rarely use tomato on a burger. Unless is is fresh, ripe, and decent
texture it is a detraction. The red round things that fast food
places use are just a slight resemblance or a tomato.

interesting their package says minced fish but the description
says "100% WHOLE FILLET FISH with: no fillers, no preservatives,
no artificial colors or flavors, no hydrogenated oils, and no
antibiotics"... the fish sticks we get do not have minced fish
but they also do not have as much fish in them in comparison to
the picture shown...

cooking. I don't like frying, mainly because of all the spatter that
has to be cleaned up afterwards. However, I like the occasional pork
or lamb chop and sometimes a steak. Using the grilling function in my
oven is not worth it. The air fryer is perfect for these and I can also follow up with a handful of frozen fries.
As for size, well this afternoon I had to move it out of the way as I
made a couple of batches of cookies for my d-i-l. Even though I live
alone, I would love a huge kitchen:-)

Perhaps because I don't eat a lot of potatoes? I see lots of
mentions of frozen french fries in the various air fryer ads. From
the images it appears people put a whole of of them in even the
smallest "basket". I did bake a couple of frozen hash brown patties
in it. They turned out fine but didn't save any time in terms of how
long they needed to be cooked. Possibly saved a few pennies in
electricity but then again, I could have baked 6 of them in the oven
in the same amount of time. Unlike fish sticks, those things tend to
stay crisp when gently reheated in the microwave.
I don't think a bigger unit would change it.
A bigger air fryer would be annoying. Again, no counter space and I
really don't want to cart this thing back and forth to the laundry
room. I already do that with the crock pot, which I definitely do
use.

The ones I see in the store are lightly oiled.

It just so happens that I have their #1 pick and I highly recommend
it too.
We have a digital Cuisinart air-fryer oven that was given to us. I
still have to consult the instructions to set the time, but my wife
uses it mostly for toasting English muffins.
There's one knob in the center that controls all of the digital
functions. I still haven't gotten the hang of it...but one of these
days!

I haven't a clue how commercially dehydrated tomatoes are made. But
I'm going to take a wild guess and say the oil was added when packed
and not during the drying process.

LOL. I hate those! That type also requires preheating too I bet.
The little ones just have 2 dials and normally no buttons. No readouts needed. No preheat. Dial to the temp you want on a marked dial then
the time. Plug in and it starts.

I don't know about the oil but I saw a program about sundried
tomatoes. They're put on huge tarps in the open air in fields in
Turkey, in this case. Anything that lands on them becomes part of the
party. Dead insects, bird droppings, etc. When enough time has passed
and the tomatoes are dry, they're processed.
And then you sell it at an inflated price, because it's a verrry fancy product!

Oh yummy!! 😩
I'd have to look at the jar to see where this delicacy originates from if >they were to land in shopping cart. If I were hell bent on eating these
I'd opt for trying to dry them myself.

Preheat serves a purpose. Just as you heat a fry pan, the bottom
surface gets hot to eliminate food sticking and gives a more even
cooking.

Not used when it's this small with plastic grates. It you 'want to
anyway' you can just set the temp and plug it in then add food and set
timer but the difference is like 5 seconds at most.

Air fryers have plastic grates???
