"The batter was completely devoid of flavor and just tasted like fried crunch. We couldn't even pick up the taste of salt. And the fillets themselves were just as tasteless. These may crisp up well in the oven or air fryer, but a passable texture doesn't make up for flavorless fish, no matter how much tartar sauce you slather over it."
"Whereas we were underwhelmed by the bland flavor of Gorton's crispy battered fish fillets, we found reviews in which many customers experienced plenty of flavor. It's just that none of it was good. According to one Amazon reviewer, 'These smell up the house with a fishy smell and the taste matches!' Customers were also disgusted by the texture of the fish."
Frozen fish provides year-round seafood access at affordable prices without the urgency of immediate cooking required for fresh fish. A comparison of five frozen fish fillet brands ranked options by flavor and texture. Gorton's Crispy Battered Whole Fillets emerged as the poorest choice, made from wild-caught pollock. The batter lacked flavor and salt detection, while the fillets themselves were equally tasteless. Customer reviews corroborated these findings, reporting strong fishy odors, unpleasant tastes, and mushy, paste-like textures instead of the expected flaky, light interior characteristic of quality white fish.
