Why, I made a chicken dish like that and it was great. I took chicken meat, threw it in a blender with an egg, a bit of chicken stock, some salt, spices, and a touch of cornstarch. I rolled the paste into balls and fried them. They were deliscious and everyone knew what they were getting. Everyone loved them.
Do I care if Gorton's products are made from paste, no I don't, unless of course, they're adding meal worms to the mix. It's still fish, and uses up product that would otherwise be waste. And we take far too much from the sea to be wasteful of anything.
Yes, I too liked the products better when they were made from whole fish, just like I usually use whole, bone-on poultry, pork, beef, etc. But that doesn't mean I will turn up my nose at a good hot dog, or even potted meat. If it tastes good, and doesn't contain ingredients that are dangerous or gross (BT, keep those cockroaches away from my blender), what difference does it really make.
Personally, I don't purchase the Gorton's fish fillet products because I don't like the texture. I have found better brands for my tastes. And besides, I love fishing. But I'm not going to fault them on something that is done in most food industries. I mean, head cheese, all forms of sausages, pate's, forcemeats, hash, etc. are all mixtures of ground up products. Even Carl's Junior's (yuk!) french fries are an extruded paste product. I would think Cheetoes would be the same. And what aout Pringle's Potato products, yep, mashed and pressed little chips. You didn't think they developed a spud that made those perfectly shaped little stackable chips did you? Of course you didn't.
Just my take on things.
