Jack & Rings Fishcurd
What it is
Jack & Rings Fishcurd is a processed food product made from fish that has been finely ground and mixed with binders and seasonings. It is typically formed into a solid shape, often a patty or a stick, before being cooked. The texture is usually soft and yielding, with a mild fish flavor that is enhanced by the added ingredients. This product offers a convenient way to consume fish, especially for those who may not prefer the texture of whole fish fillets.
How people cook with it
Fishcurd is a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into various meals.
- Pan-fried for a crispy exterior

To prepare Jack & Rings Fishcurd, you can pan-fry it in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, it can be baked in a preheated oven until it reaches your desired level of crispness. This product is also suitable for air frying. It can be served as a main course alongside vegetables or starches, or it can be broken up and used as a filling for tacos or as a topping for salads.
