Review: Van de Kamp's ParchmentBake Garlic Butter Tilapia

I've mentioned before on the blog that I did not become a fan of seafood, specifically fish, until later in life.  For the purposes of this blog, I've only reviewed Gorton's frozen fish products and I've even reviewed the same flavor as this Van de Kamp's ParchmentBake Garlic Butter Tilapia.  Because of that, I'll be able to draw a comparison as to which company puts out a better product in this flavor.  For the price and nutrition hounds out there, I picked up this box at Meijer on sale for $3.99. There are two frozen fillets per box and each fillet comes in at roughly 3.6 ounces with 80 calories and fourteen grams of protein.

Review: Gorton's Grilled Fillets Lemon Pepper Fillets

Because of this blog, there are a lot of types of foods out there that I either didn't like or had never tried before that I have tried as part of my exploration into new foods and things.  One of those things, for example is Greek yogurt.  Another thing that I never liked before but have now made a habit of trying is seafood products.  Because of this, I've done several reviews of Gorton's Grilled Fillet products and that leads me to another review of one of those products with this review of the Gorton's Grilled Fillets Lemon Pepper Fillets.  I picked up this box of fillets at Meijer on sale for $3.00 and each box includes two 3.8 ounce fillets that clock in with 90 calories and sixteen grams of protein per fillet.  The box does not give a good indication of what this is a fillet of, but when you look at the ingredients, you'll come to find out that this is Alaskan Pollock.

Review: Gorton's Grilled Tilapia Roasted Garlic & Butter Fillets

For someone who has not liked fish for most of their life, I've got to admit that I'm starting to like these Gorton's products.  I've had more hits than misses and I had a big hit on my last Grilled Tilapia review, so I was anxious to try out another variation of Gorton's frozen seafood (and tilapia) products with these Grilled Tilapia Roasted Garlic & Butter fillets.  As you can tell, this is the same product as last time, except they are using a different preparation method as the fillets are coated with butter and roasted garlic.  I picked this up on sale at Meijer for $3.99 and each box includes two 3.1 ounce fillets.  Each fillet comes in at 80 calories and has fourteen grams of protein.

Review: Gorton's Tilapia Signature Grilled Fillets

I have mentioned on this blog before that I'm trying to train myself to like fish after many years of avoiding it at all costs.  I know training myself be eating frozen, pre-packaged fish that you cook in the oven is kind of a lame way of doing it, but for me, it's a low risk was to find out what kinds of fish I do and do not like.  Gorton's has a line of "healthy" grilled fish in their product catalog and being that I've already done some Gorton's reviews,  Being that it is now Lent (for those of you that celebrate it) and now's as good of a time as any, I'm continuing to make my way through their grilled product selections with these Tilapia Signature Grilled Fillets.  I picked up this box for $3.99 on sale (with a $1.00 off coupon) at Meijer and each box contains two fillets that check in at roughly 3.1 ounces per fillet.  Each fillet is a waist slimming 80 calories with fifteen grams of protein.

Review: Gorton's Cajun Blackened Grilled Fillets

This is not my first time reviewing Gorton's grilled products and in fact, I've even given Buy It ratings before, so when I saw this Cajun Blackened Grilled Fillets on sale at Meijer for $3.99 (I also had a $1.00 off coupon), I was more than willing to pick it up and give another one of their flavors a try.  I like the spice of Cajun flavoring and I'm trying to find a way to like fish more (I realize this is frozen, so sue me), so this one was right up my alley.  This box contains two fillets weighing in at 3.8 ounces per fillet and each fillet contains 90 calories and packs a robust sixteen grams of protein.  Nice.  What I found interesting though was that the front packaging of the box did not tell you what kind of fish this was.  If you look at the back, you can see that it is Alaskan Pollock, but it just seems strange to me that the customer facing packaging is basically just labeling this as "fish" and that's it.

Review: Gorton's Frozen Classic Grilled Salmon

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the world's biggest fan of seafood.  For the most part, I've stayed away from it my entire life because I don't like the "fishy" taste and therefore am no expert when it comes to different kinds of seafood.  That said, after watching countless hours of Food Network, I decided I would start to explore the world of seafood (albeit, store bought and frozen) and paired with a coupon that I got at my gym, that led me to Gorton's frozen line of grilled products and more specifically, this Classic Grilled Salmon.  I know this is not the real thing and the quality would show that, but the mission of this blog is to review pre-packaged foods, so that is the reason I picked this up at Meijer for $3.00 ($4.00 without coupon).
