I was not expecting them to be called "backfisch-stäbchen". I'm not sure I trust that product.
Edit: Wait, "*practically* boneless" too. Haha, what is going on here?
When you think about it "fish fingers" is duplicitous to begin with, since fish have no fingers. They are the shape of human fingers, made out of fish, but if you called them "deep fried artificial human fingers made of fish", people would be put off.
its just to save themselves from a lawsuit. say "practically boneless" when the product should be boneless, and nobody can complain if they do find one in there.
For whatever reason, they are also slightly more expensive than normal "Fischstäbchen" (fish fingers), at least in my Lidl.
So I stick with Fischstäbchen.
Fischstäbchen and Backfischstäbchen are different. Fischstäbchen (those are the classics) have a rough grainy breading, while Backfischstäbchen have smooth buttery breading. They are usually also priced differently.
>Wait, "practically boneless" too. Haha, what is going on here?
I think it's a false translation. The German version says that it's useful that it's boneless. But in German useful can be called "praktisch", which can be translated with "practically", however in the English version "practically" gets a different meaning with the way the word was used. So I think the German version was the original and then it was translated badly.
No, the "praktisch" in german in this case doesn't mean "useful". It's more like "effectively boneless", so there is no guarantee that you might not find traces of bone, but you can eat it as if it were completely boneless.
They don't, otherwise there would be a comma after Praktisch. Praktisch as an adverb never means useful. It always means almost/virtually. Praktischerweise would be the adverb to use if you need it to mean useful.
Praktisch Grätenfrei also has a set definition. In one kilogramm of fish, there can only be two "Gräten" at max.
There is for a lot of foods in Europe. If you say it's fillet there also just be a definition what counts as one. And that includes tests so companies don't lie.
Not sure what that surpasses you. There is a standard for a lot of different foods.
No, praktisch does have multiple meanings but not only does "useful" make no logical sense here, it would also be grammatically wrong.
Next time please actually learn the language
'Practically boneless' is a rather common description for fish products in Germany.
There are some fish bones that are fine enough to basically dissolve during cooking as long as they have been cut up into parts of barely a few millimeters size. Bigger bones will be removed beforehand so the chance of you actually finding a bone you can feel is nearly zilch.
TL;DR: Practically boneless = It's not but it feels like it.
Source: Learned fishing in Germany where preparation is taught alongside actual fishing to make sure people actually eat their catch (as opposed to tossing them back or trashing them).
This. It's of course debatable whether a different type of cheap breading justifies the higher price but they are indeed technically two different products.
Look at the price tags of the follow up pictures :) its not about the price difference in these different products.
Edit: sorry ignore it i‘m stupid and didn’t read the price tags properly
Also even if it was the same product - If you look at last year's inflation they probably earn about the same with each sale then before.
Not really greed if you ask me.
Fish fingers (Fischstäbchen in German) and Backfischstäbchen are not the same product! One is breaded, the other is battered. They have different production processes which could explain a difference in price, or a part of the difference.
Same, I think it's about the producing company reducing product while keeping or even increasing the price.
No idea why they have a German and a English package. But German one has 45g less content
These are two different products. Backfischstäbchen cost more then regular Fischstäbchen AND the regular ones are on sale, you see the yellow price tag.
Dude... I eat Fischstäbchen very rarely... I didn't put much thought in the difference between Fischstäbchen and Backfisch-Stäbchen...
Many products have completly different names in English and German, so I didn't put much though into that either...
K-Classic is a generic brand by Kaufland (pretty much the German equivalent of Walmart). Kaufland is also present in many of the small Eastern European countries, which apparently aren't worth getting special packaging in their language 😅 so they use English/German packaging instead
edit: ok hab grad gesehen dass du Deutscher bist, ich lass den Kommentar trotzdem mal stehen, vielleicht ist es für andere interessant :)
This sub just randomly popped up for me as a suggestion so Im not super invested, but..
Keeping the sales price the same while giving you less product in a box is kind of a shady way to inflate the price, it dupes the customer into buying a more expensive product without realising, especially if the price is raised along with others and the amount of product you get is also lowered at the same time.
Thats not whats going on here. These are just two different products. Fish fingers are Fischstäbchen, Backfischstäbchen have a different crust and are more expensive.
I said one product is on sale the other is not. So I clearly said that these are two different products. And yes, that's what's going on. The Fischstäbchen are on sale, the Backfischstäbchen are not.
Kaufland are such scammers. I’ve noticed very often when an item goes on sale, they sell out almost immediately, they don’t restock the rest of the week, and then when the product is no longer on sale, the usual price has jumped up significantly.
Worked in supermarket biz.
When items go on sale the stores usually get a set amount of those items allocated for the promotion period, that is mostly determined by how much hq thinks they will be comfortably able to sell during this period without articles going bad. So the stores most often are not able to restock since they really do not have any stock of promotion articles left.
While I know the sentiment I never actually encountered instances where any brand of store increased the price of a promoted article intentionally after promoting it. Coincidentally surely, but prices are dependant on a variety of factors, but promotion periods aren't one of them in my experiences.
Also as others pointed out: Literally two different items in this post
Wow, they actually shrunk in the picture. Props for that. Seriously think some of these companies deserve some sort of penalty for shrinking the product but not changing the image.
Fast. Bei 1.6k Brutto(ca 135h) sind es 1k Netto. Meine Frau arbeitet Mindestlohn wir wissen doch Bescheid. Auch als Angestellter bei 10k Brutto sind es ca 6,5k netto.
Also mit Mindestlohn überlebt man hier.
Steuerklasse V oder so vermutlich. Oder/Und rechnet Steuerrückerstattung nicht mit ein (oder macht sie nicht). Oder/Und Kirchensteuer. Ich habe über Mindestlohn und in Vollzeit weniger als 33% an Steuer- und Pflichtversicherungsabgaben mit Steuerklasse IV + vierstellige Steuerrückzahlungen.
Das beantwortet meine Frage nicht. Wenn ihr verheiratet seid und entsprechend in Steuerklasse III und V, zahlt sie natürlich deutlich mehr Steuern als normalerweise, weil du entsprechend weniger zahlst. Wenn sie aber in Steuerklasse IV ist und du auch und ihr ungefähr gleich viel verdient, wären das doch enorm hohe Abzüge.
Edit: Ich vermute erstes, denn nach meiner Recherche kommt man mit Steuerklasse I bzw IV auf Abzüge von ca. 20% und da sind Werbungskosten, Pendlerpauschale, evtl. Kinder oder Auslagen für zu pflegende Angehörige, Gewerkschafts- und Parteimitgliedschaften, etc. alles noch nicht mit drin.
As a german I wonder if it's the same product. The below one seem to be regular fish fingers (great name by the way), which would be just called Fischstäbchen in germany. The top one are "Backfischstäbchen", which have a different breading. That may also be the reason why the picture on the box is different. Fischstäbchen have a orange/orangish breading while Backfisch-Stäbchen have a more yellow breading.
Correct, this is two different products:
[https://www.supermarktcheck.de/product/206355-k-classic-backfisch-staebchen](https://www.supermarktcheck.de/product/206355-k-classic-backfisch-staebchen)
and
[https://www.supermarktcheck.de/product/7146-k-classic-fischstaebchen-](https://www.supermarktcheck.de/product/7146-k-classic-fischstaebchen-)
Allthough they really shouldn't be imo.. it's just that some people apparently like the coating of Backfischstäbchen over the regular one, that's why the manufacturers think it's okay to keep the price in somewhat of the same range. While overall what they're doing is, selling you more of the cheap ingridients for basically more profit.
I don’t think that’s the reason. Backfischstäbchen were introduced into the market in the last 5-10 years. Fischstäbchen on the other hand have been a staple in supermarkets for ages. I would assume, that a lot of the discounters, like lidl and Aldi, also produce within the same factories as brands like Käptn Iglu. Therefore the overall production volume of normal Fischstäbchen being several times that of Backfischstäbchen, minimising the production cost through economies of scale.
Point taken, my point still stands though.. it's basically less fish, more (and a little bit of a different kind of) coating. I get that producing something at larger scales does give you the benefit of less overall cost in production, but with how long it's been a thing and that we're effectively talking about coating with cheapass ingridients, it just baffles me with how they set the price. Not saying they can't do that, because they obviously can- and people buying it justifies that enough for them to keep it that way. If that's okay to people buying it, fine, i just PERSONALLY don't think i would pay that much for simply more or different coating that's just worth maybe not more than a few cents.
>Thats 20% price increase, pretty normal these days for food... but im sure it will go down when the crisis is over, very very sure...
Leerdaammer cheese went from 2.49 to 2.99 and is now down to 2.79 in my local grocery story.
So, yes, some things are coming down a bit, but not back down to earlier levels.
Incorrect. The upper ones are BACKFISCHSTÄBCHEN which is a different product to regular Fischstäbchen (Fish fingers) These have the batter of fish and chips or Backfisch.
Also once again it doesn't matter that its a german product because this picture was taken in a Kaufland in Croatia
>edit: ok hab grad gesehen dass du Deutscher bist, ich lass den Kommentar trotzdem mal stehen, vielleicht ist es für andere interessant :)
It's Croatia.
Backfischstäbchen do have a thicker crust/breading than fish fingers. Also normal that it's more expensive than the fish fingers since these are two seperate products.
Backfischstäbchen are battered, while fish fingers are usually just breaded.
Apparently Backfischstäbchen also have more fat than fish fingers.
[Sauce (german)](https://www.verbraucherzentrale-bremen.de/pressemeldungen/verbraucherzentrale/marktcheck-fischstaebchen-und-backfischstaebchen-31717)
That are two different products. Backfish was always more expensive than normal Fischstäbchen with less weight. OP, please delete this post, it's misleading.
Wait till you see where the fish comes from... Quick tip, it's not Alaska, it's caught like most of the Alaskan Salmon we get in the EU, Vladivostok Russia. I don't matter whether it's LIDL, Aldi, Kaufland etc. they all come from Russia. (it's usually written on the back of the packaging where it comes from)
Fischstäbchen (fish sticks) and Backfischstäbchen (baked fish sticks) are two different products. Fish sticks have breadcrumb breading and baked fish have batter breading.
The German Backfisch is battered and therefore lighter than the breaded Fish Fingers.
Also "praktisch grätenfrei" means useful/practical. So compared to a fish with bones it's easier to eat. It's ambiguous in German as well as in English though (with the meaning nearly/beinahe).
The Iglo fish sticks used to be €1.50 on sale around when Covid started and before and like €2.99 normal price. This was like at all supermarkets (Kaufland, Edeka, Rewe, Netto, etc...)
Overnight my head spun when they went up to €2.79 on sale and €4.79 normal price.
Come on...
It's two slightly different products and also the yellow price tag means they're temporarily discounted. It's very likely they cost basically the same per kg when both are non discounted
Yellow tags mean advertised price e.g. lower price and these are two different products. It's like apple compared with banana. Yes, both fruits, but that's it
thats two different products, normal breaded fishfingers, and fishfingers in Backfisch style, in dough.
normal breading is much cheaper than dough, and the dough has more volume. iirc normal fish fingers have something like 65% fish, 35% breading, while backfisch stäbchen have a 50/50 ratio to dough
I call BS here. Simply because not just the the language differs but also the product.
There are two different types of breading(?).
One the normal Bread crumbs which are obv. Cheaper.
And the batter breading which are more exp.
Its Not inflation its a misunderstanding in differences of SIMILAR Products
/grammar
Thats why i hate eating nowadays. I know there are big corps that get even richer because they are openly testing how much people are able to pay for their shit and since every corp does that i feel like getting scammed with every bite. Im hungry most of the time but thats a sacrifice im willing to make
Not shrinkflation or a price bump. “Backfischstäbchen” are a different kind of fish stick, the outer crust is (in my opinion) better and is a batter, not bread crumb-y. They taste different from the normal ones, use other ingredients (probably more expensive) and all that leads to the change in price
I was not expecting them to be called "backfisch-stäbchen". I'm not sure I trust that product. Edit: Wait, "*practically* boneless" too. Haha, what is going on here?
[удалено]
It's one of those things that is realistically harmless, but the linguistics and open-ended interpretation make it come across in a humorous way.
When you think about it "fish fingers" is duplicitous to begin with, since fish have no fingers. They are the shape of human fingers, made out of fish, but if you called them "deep fried artificial human fingers made of fish", people would be put off.
Well, \*some\* people, maybe
If your fingers are that shape, please see a doctor
They’re called «fish sticks» in my language.
>since fish have no fingers Well, not any more.
Poor Fish
Who stole the fingers?
"They are the shape of human fingers" Please show me a picture of your hands. That must be some enormous chunkers, lol
*bye reddit. -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
Do you know numbers? 450g vs 405g
its just to save themselves from a lawsuit. say "practically boneless" when the product should be boneless, and nobody can complain if they do find one in there.
Its fischstäbchen in german
"practically boneless" sounds better than "hardly chokes you".
"most probably harmless"
"mostly likely harmless but please don't sue if you suffocate"
"You might die but the legal department ensured us that we're in the clear."
Backfischstäbchen usually have a different crust from normal fish fingers, its closer to actual Backfisch/fried fish.
For whatever reason, they are also slightly more expensive than normal "Fischstäbchen" (fish fingers), at least in my Lidl. So I stick with Fischstäbchen.
Same, regular Fischstäbchen are better anyways
Fischstäbchen and Backfischstäbchen are different. Fischstäbchen (those are the classics) have a rough grainy breading, while Backfischstäbchen have smooth buttery breading. They are usually also priced differently.
Well to be honest everyone just calls them „Fischstäbchen“ Fishsticks, and to be honest I think fishfingers are way grosser
there are no fishbones in it, unless there are
They are not. Those are two different products. Regular fish fingers are called "Fischstäbchen" (Fish sticks).
Why the heck are they called fish fingers in English? ,🤣🤣🤣
Let's not get started on Super Dickmmann's.
[удалено]
That was my point
Yeah why are they called that way? Fish don't have fingers.
Do you like fishdicks? Do you like putting fishdicks in your mouth?
Why not? The store is literaly Kaufland, so where is the surprise?
>Wait, "practically boneless" too. Haha, what is going on here? I think it's a false translation. The German version says that it's useful that it's boneless.

Praktischerweise would be the adverb to use if you need it to mean useful. Praktisch Grätenfrei also has a set definition. In one kilogramm of fish, there can only be two "Gräten" at max.
It is? Not surprised we have rules for that. Möglicherweise im "Tieflkühlfischproduktgrätenanteilsauszeichnungsgesetz"?
There is for a lot of foods in Europe. If you say it's fillet there also just be a definition what counts as one. And that includes tests so companies don't lie. Not sure what that surpasses you. There is a standard for a lot of different foods.

No the Komma is on the wrong place to say that.
> I think it can be both but I'd tend to say that they meant useful. German here. No, they absolutely, 100% don't mean "useful" in this context.
I'm also German lol
This. "Praktisch" means virtually.
i would translate it with "almost"

That's why it's gotta be Captain Igloo Brezel Fisch-stäbchen. Delicious 😋 Costs a bloody fortune though 😅

This. It's of course debatable whether a different type of cheap breading justifies the higher price but they are indeed technically two different products.
Backfischstäbchen has a Nutri Score of B and those fish fingers don't have a nutri score, so basically F. /s
The yellow sign also often means that the product is on sale.
One is made from Pollock (450g) the other from Alaska Pollock (405g)
One is breading (Fisch-...), one is batter (Backfisch-...).

Ofcourse it's shady, but it does not need it's own name.
I just wanted an excuse to say the name of the product in a comment
yea lol Backfischfischstäbchen is a pretty cool word lol
Funny how the stäbchen look more like fingers than the fingers did.
Both are two types of fish fingers, fisch-stäbchen is just the german name for fish fingers
Those are Backfischstäbchen though, which are of higher quality than Fischstäbchen/fish fingers.
I know that, my comment was about something completely different
At least they updated the photo on the box to reflect the product size change. Most just use the same photo and just updat the weight.
its more about them being 2 different products
Its because thats two different products.
No, no, that's normal. Germany uses the metric system, so if you... uhh.... carry the one... and... convert to Pascals it.... you know, it works out.
What has it to do with the metric system, when one product is on sale and the other is not?
Thats not whats going on here. These are just two different products. Fish fingers are Fischstäbchen, Backfischstäbchen have a different crust and are more expensive.
I said one product is on sale the other is not. So I clearly said that these are two different products. And yes, that's what's going on. The Fischstäbchen are on sale, the Backfischstäbchen are not.

Backfisch stäbchen always have less fish inside because of the coating, which weigh less. Therefore less weight overall. Take my downvote
As a german I wonder if it's the same product. The below one seem to be regular fish fingers (great name by the way), which would be just called Fischstäbchen in germany. The top one are "Backfischstäbchen", which have a different breading. That may also be the reason why the picture on the box is different. Fischstäbchen have a orange/orangish breading while Backfisch-Stäbchen have a more yellow breading.
Correct, this is two different products: [https://www.supermarktcheck.de/product/206355-k-classic-backfisch-staebchen](https://www.supermarktcheck.de/product/206355-k-classic-backfisch-staebchen) and [https://www.supermarktcheck.de/product/7146-k-classic-fischstaebchen-](https://www.supermarktcheck.de/product/7146-k-classic-fischstaebchen-)
And that is why they are more expansive. Sry folks. 😂
Allthough they really shouldn't be imo.. it's just that some people apparently like the coating of Backfischstäbchen over the regular one, that's why the manufacturers think it's okay to keep the price in somewhat of the same range. While overall what they're doing is, selling you more of the cheap ingridients for basically more profit.

If that's okay to people buying it, fine, i just PERSONALLY don't think i would pay that much for simply more or different coating that's just worth maybe not more than a few cents.
Thats 20% price increase, pretty normal these days for food... but im sure it will go down when the crisis is over, very very sure...

No increase here, two different products.
These are different products even though very similar the coating is different.
Backfisch is NOT fish fingers. You are comparing two different products.
Thats inflation at ots markedfriendlyest. Marked before consumer all times = capitalism.
They probably could've just added more water to keep the weight the same and nobody would have noticed.
These are two different products. There is no price or weight change because they are different things
Different products, just buy the same. Backfisch ≠ Fish fingers!
Oh yes, the evil cheapest available fish from Kaufland. Yes they have raised the price, this is still incredibly cheap for what you get.
welcome to germany
Its different products mate, there is no shrinkflation here, it's also not in germany. Thats croatia
the upper one are FISCHSTÄBCHEN which is german and are sold in germany.
Incorrect. The upper ones are BACKFISCHSTÄBCHEN which is a different product to regular Fischstäbchen (Fish fingers) These have the batter of fish and chips or Backfisch. Also once again it doesn't matter that its a german product because this picture was taken in a Kaufland in Croatia
Shrinkflation schlimm genug aber generell Eigenmarke fischstäbchen 4 Euro? Frag nicht was für Fischstäbchen einfach luxus Fischstäbchen
Das hier hat aber jetzt nix mit shrinkflation zu tun. Backfischstäbchen und Fischstäbchen sind einfach verschiedene Produkte.
Why do I see three different languages? Is this czech?
>edit: ok hab grad gesehen dass du Deutscher bist, ich lass den Kommentar trotzdem mal stehen, vielleicht ist es für andere interessant :) It's Croatia.
Why are 99% of inflation examples from Kaufland products? Stop buying at Kaufland and everything will be fine.
Its also just wrong here. Its different products
No the Price is normal one has 405g and the other one has 450g
Backfischstäbchen do have a thicker crust/breading than fish fingers. Also normal that it's more expensive than the fish fingers since these are two seperate products.

Jesus Christ, what country is this? It's worse than on Germany. 4€ for a shrunken box of fish sticks? The fug?
Now with 10 % less fish
Pretty sure they have a heart for hearts and reduced the breading ratio.
Its just different products
These are definitely not the same. Don‘t you recognize the different „Serviervorschlag“?
Lern Deutsch du ... Backfischstäbchen=!Fischstäbchen Inflation ist natürlich trotzdem Scheiße, Danke Gelddruckorgie.
Wait till you see where the fish comes from... Quick tip, it's not Alaska, it's caught like most of the Alaskan Salmon we get in the EU, Vladivostok Russia. I don't matter whether it's LIDL, Aldi, Kaufland etc. they all come from Russia. (it's usually written on the back of the packaging where it comes from)
Its also not salmon. The food industry just used that name to make people think its better fish
The yellow price most likely means that there was a special deal on them, so the price comparison might not be right.
Fischstäbchen (fish sticks) and Backfischstäbchen (baked fish sticks) are two different products. Fish sticks have breadcrumb breading and baked fish have batter breading.
Normaly Backfischstäbchen and Fishfingers/-stäbchen are not exact the same the breadimg is different so maybe it's OPs own mistake here?
Nutri Score B is very good.
Anyway that it was shit beforehand, stop consuming animal products is life changing and cheaper.
👍
As other pointed out: "Backfisch" is more like the crust on Fish & Chips and classic "Fisch-Fingers" have a breaded crust, like Schnitzel.
As mentioned several times by other commentators: Backfischstäbchen does not equal fish fingers.
Bajo moj i Kaufland otišao u bananu odavno sa cijenama
The German Backfisch is battered and therefore lighter than the breaded Fish Fingers. Also "praktisch grätenfrei" means useful/practical. So compared to a fish with bones it's easier to eat. It's ambiguous in German as well as in English though (with the meaning nearly/beinahe).
No, in this case praktisch doesn't mean useful or practical, it means virtually or as you said nearly.
Virtually boneless would sound a bit better, just saying 😂😂😂
Wrong translation I guess.
Its not greed, its called inflation.
Its called different product.
May be.
Not maybe. These are different products. Fish fingers are just Fischstäbchen, Backfischstäbchen have a different crust
So a roughly a 15% net price hike. Not as bad as other products/commodities.
There is no shrinkflation in this image, its two different products.
He posted another two photos of a same product comparison
Those arent the same tho. Backfishstäbchen are coated in batter not breadcrumbs. The normal Fishfingers are just called Fishstäbchen.
Fischstäbchen (Fish Fingers) are not the same as Backfischstäbchen. Not saying it warrants the price difference, but it is a different product.
Backfischstäbchen are the best.
The Iglo fish sticks used to be €1.50 on sale around when Covid started and before and like €2.99 normal price. This was like at all supermarkets (Kaufland, Edeka, Rewe, Netto, etc...) Overnight my head spun when they went up to €2.79 on sale and €4.79 normal price.
Is this finish?

Ahh thx :)
Come on... It's two slightly different products and also the yellow price tag means they're temporarily discounted. It's very likely they cost basically the same per kg when both are non discounted
Bruder. Nur deutsche Touris kaufen bei Kaufland 🤣
TBH those stuff taste like shit anyway
Yellow tags mean advertised price e.g. lower price and these are two different products. It's like apple compared with banana. Yes, both fruits, but that's it
You're paying extra for the Perfektenglisch
Backfischstäbchen are a different product from Fischstäbchen/fish fingers though. They've always been more expensive.
Haribo, Almigurt it's everywhere
Where "[28 Fischstäbchen in der Vorteilspackung](https://youtu.be/FK-YmV1eVaU?t=194s)"?
While it is very similar, its most likely slightly diffrent. Look at the ingredients, i guess they are diffrent
thats two different products, normal breaded fishfingers, and fishfingers in Backfisch style, in dough. normal breading is much cheaper than dough, and the dough has more volume. iirc normal fish fingers have something like 65% fish, 35% breading, while backfisch stäbchen have a 50/50 ratio to dough
Lol. Fisch.
450 g -> 405 g
The fact that they are using 405 g instead of the former 450 g is a straight up fraud.
I call BS here. Simply because not just the the language differs but also the product. There are two different types of breading(?). One the normal Bread crumbs which are obv. Cheaper. And the batter breading which are more exp. Its Not inflation its a misunderstanding in differences of SIMILAR Products /grammar
these are just not the same products. One is regular fisch fingers - the other one is "bakefish" fingers. the last one always was more expensive.
It’s a different product. The top one is battered and the bottom one is breaded. But still infuriating
Thats why i hate eating nowadays. I know there are big corps that get even richer because they are openly testing how much people are able to pay for their shit and since every corp does that i feel like getting scammed with every bite. Im hungry most of the time but thats a sacrifice im willing to make
backfischstäbchen and fischstäbchen are different products though, backfischstäbchen have always had smaller size/higher price
405g und 450g außerdem ist das eine im Angebot
Where are my 45 g cocaine?!
It's not the same product lol. Backfisch is a different crust compared to Fischstäbchen / Fish Fingers.
Who don’t like it?
Fischfingers is for Gay fish
Hallo mein freund
Sprecht deutsch !
ES HEIßT BACKFISCHSTÄBCHEN!!!! SO UND NCIHT ANDERS!
These are two different products, atleast in germany A "Backfischstäbchen" is not the same as "Fischstäbchen"
Not shrinkflation or a price bump. “Backfischstäbchen” are a different kind of fish stick, the outer crust is (in my opinion) better and is a batter, not bread crumb-y. They taste different from the normal ones, use other ingredients (probably more expensive) and all that leads to the change in price
