fish stick
Frozen finger food
A fish stick is an oblong piece of breaded, processed fish, typically sold frozen and prepared by frying or baking.
The shape resembles a stick or finger, making them easy for children to eat.
Fish sticks are convenience food, a cafeteria and household staple: We had fish sticks and tater tots for lunch.
