Fish paste is British? Sounds Asian.

 

[boedicca]

Yes. British people eat, among the large variety of odd things the eat, consume something called Fish Paste Sandwiches.

They don't even say Sammich correctly. What's up with that?

Begone, party pooper.

Fish Paste

#

* Preparation time: 20 minutes
* Rapid cooking time: 15 minutes

#

* 1 lb. white fish (pollock)
* 1/2 cup arrowroot starch (can be substituted with tapioca starch or cornstarch)
* Egg white from 2 eggs
* 3 ice cubes (about 1-inch square)
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

#

* Cut up the fish into 1/2-inch cubes. Put all the ingredients except for the ice cubes in a food processor and blend for about two minutes or until smooth. Then add the ice cubes and continue to blend for another three minutes or so. The paste should be very thick with a lot of elasticity. The finished paste should be very smooth with no solid pieces of fish. Scoop the paste into a bowl and refrigerate for about an hour before using.

It IS mostly a south east Asia type thing. BUt the British do eat a sandwich which uses a version of it, we know that sandwich as a tuna fish sandwich.

Positively revolting.

And that's not how I would make a Tuny Fish Sammich.

What's with the ice cubes?

I must say I'm with you on the pizza option there.

I haven't eaten paste since Kindergarten.

This is called "Kamaboko" in Japan. My wife likes it just fine but to me it tastes like "rubbery nothing". Japan makes a great imitation crab meat too. Just so ya' know.

Something to put on toast
Camerons British Foods :: Misc. Groceries :: Shipham's Salmon Paste (75g)
Start out with that, then move up to Marmite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Um......Marmite....if anyone can eat Marmite (Fermented Dead Yeast), then they could eat Fish Paste.

Could it be any worse than Vegemite?
