Re: Silly question I know
Interesting view there. I had never eaten raw meat (steak tartare) until I came to CH. I've since enjoyed it in CH, FR and BE, the only bad one I had was in FR (Val Thorens), was as sick as a dog for about 36 hours.
I make my own fishcakes, and have recently been toying with the idea of doing my own fish fingers. Can't be that difficult, can it?

My son found a raclette maker in an Aldi store here in New Jersey and gave it to me last Christmas....however it’s almost impossible to find raclette cheese; we found it in Trader Joe’s but it was only in for one delivery and won’t be back for another year I’m planning to eat some in the Christmas holidays

Steak tartare and horse meat were definitely the food items I refused to eat when I lived in Zug (Switzerland). I did eat a lot of cheese though and enjoyed the alpenmagroni (macaroni cheese) with apple sauce and friend onions up in the mountains.

Alpenmagroni - which should really be described as 'macaroni cheese+++ with stars on' is absolutely scrumptious. The best versions of this dish are definitely to be found 'up north'; down here in the French-speaking 'flatlands' they just can't seem to cut it. Coop or Migros used to do a half-arsed version, but it was nowhere near the real thing. Haven't had a proper one in several years. I've tried home-made, but feel that I lack the Swiss gene.
When you say 'raclette maker' (I assume we're not talking about a human here) do you mean one of those grill/hot-stones, or the mountain dweller's half-moon thingy?
I never bothered with the latter at home, but we find the grill/hot-stone to be incredibly versatile and also a fun way to enjoy a meal either amongst friends or just the two of us.
Enjoy your festive raclette!

Try Van de Kamps fish sandwich fillets
They are like square fish fingers.

Tartare sauce on a fish finger butty, is the most bourgeois thing I have read all day.

Re: Silly question I know
Make your own is probably the best options, but Gorton's, aren't entirely gross.
The Van de Kamps, mentioned above are owned by the company who own Birds Eye, so they're probably the closest though.
Ian's, are pretty gross as are Mrs Paul's, which is at least supposed to be proper fish rather than the mash.

Our supermarkets don't carry Van de Kamps.

Then I thought what's the point". Breadcrumb version is available in the stores, and the batter version just really didn't cut it - although would possibly be better in a sarnie.
New cunning plan - fish-cakes that look like fish-fingers!
Loads more scope for the ingredients and taste tweaking. Going to try an Asian double batter mix with salmon, tuna and crab pseudo fingers tomorrow, served alongside a Swiss/Bucks ratatouille.
