'Fishwors'? Locals react to Woolies' new 'treat' - hake sausages

There's a new 'treat' on the horizon of Woolies' aisles, and South Africans are not sure how to feel about it. Is it innovative? A tradition none of us were aware of? Is it an unnatural creation or will it be the next favoured dish at a braai? Woolies' 'traditional hake sausages' has got us...

They certainly got their share of free advertising in this though.

Salmon is gray, not orange, they feed it with color to make their meat look like that.

Blasphemy!

I prefer mine from Klerksdorp then. They dye everything there. A grey salmon is from brakpan.

Farm-raised, yes. Anyway who eats that? We’re fish snobs here.

Lol strange then that they keep losing money in Australia.

Rednecks don't appreciate quality.

Nein. Natural salmon is perfectly pink and often even darker leaning to red.

It’s the farmed stuff that is grey due to the dietary differences.

Went specially to Woolworths to try and get these today but no such luck.

Clearly the free marketing has everyone trying it out.

Is it even possible to buy wild salmon anywhere in South Africa? As far as I can see, we only get farmed salmon (unless someone happens to know a really good fishmonger).

So it's like fish meat floor scrapings in a sausage?

 

[dualmeister]

I actually saw these in WW today. Was only one pack of each left. Guess some brave people bought it

Only the Norwegian imports I think.

Having fish for breakfast though

It is more popular in the Muslim community, because they don't ever get hangovers.

 

[Ghost64]

Anyone tried it yet?

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Is it actual fish or the leftover bits?

nee man!!

 

[Snyper564]

The leftover bits are still actual fish

 

[gotaway]

Fish fingers in an artificial sleeve, or did they use real fish gut?

Or is the sausage sleeve made from sustainably sourced feral pigs?

Never heard of kippers?

Fish sausage is good, at least the ones made by our local fish shop in Langebaan. I have not tasted WW's attempt yet, but can't imagine why it would not be good. We are heavy and somewhat adventurous fish eaters in general though. Often kippers, haddock, angel and snoek on the menu, and if and when we get herring, fresh hake or cob, and not so often stumpnose etc. Special treats would be raw fresh tuna and salmon.
