Avoid anything that says 'white fish' - it could be anything. Likewise, the Omega 3 tag is just a way of using cheap fish and making it sound special. Personally, I find Aldi's cod fish fingers very good value.
nothing beats homemade ones, I do them with Panko crumbs.

I always liked Lidl ones but I've not had them for months. My family are big fans of the new Iceland fish strips in salt and vinegar batter, my son loved them and he won't eat vinegar!
Thanks a lot for the replies. These !!!!!! are apparently 'Alaskan Pollock' -- if that's where they were caught, it seems an awful long way to go for unpleasant fish! And to the celebrity chefs telling us we should be eating more no-name fish, I'd suggest there are sound reasons why they are not popular
Will follow the advice to stick with cod and haddock going forward. Will have a go at making my own too, cheers.
Don't a lot of them have pollock in them? I am sure a few of the Birds Eye ones have pollock in them. I was looking at the packages not too long ago.
Does anyone ever get of any of those huge bags from Jack Fulton or Heron foods? They are not branded and are in a see through pack. They are extremely cheap so doubt they would be that good but who knows?

Like everyone else has said, avoid those that just say white fish
Pat dry fish fillets/chunks; roll in flour, roll in egg, roll in breadcrumbs (inc pre-made); that's it.
