story: this isn't going to be the greatest of introductions, but: i like fish sandwiches. i have ever since i ate one of those old blue-wrapper "filet-o-fish" mcdonald's sandwiches back when i was young. the value of this is decent although during lent, all fast food places ever in the history of everything have their sandwiches down to 2 for $3. but fish sandwiches are a year-round obsession with me, so i was all over this like christians on beef patties the day after easter (i have zero idea how accurate that analogy is and don't care).

judgement: if you're going to eat this sandwich, it'd better be thawed first. thawed, all you have to do is microwave it for like a minute. unthawed, you have to do like three more things and heat at 30% heat with the package partially open for 3 minutes while the sandwich is "upside down" and making sure that all the jade crystals are in place and rubbing the fifth crystal counterclockwise 12 times before inserting it into the power grid. whatever.
after cooking, you can put the tartar sauce on. i was unaware at first that the sauce contains the rare tartar sauce ingredient of red bell peppers and thought that there was blood or a tapeworm in my sauce. why marketfare decided to accentuate asthetics in their gooey white sauce is beyond me.
all that aside, i liked this sandwich. the fish is really hard to get evenly cooked and has some weird taste from a spice whose name i can't recall and is usually not in a fish sandwich, but the bun tastes great and the fake melted cheese is salty fake perfection.

bottom line: compared to some of the other fish products you'll find in a freezer, these are pretty good. and relatively speaking (in regards to the other products we eat here), the value isn't great, but if you like fake cheese and sesame seed buns, these things are awesome.
