Best Swedish Fish Flavor?

[mekks082]

I have been using Flavor West Swedish Fish for a few years. I ran out and ended up buying some crooked vapor Swedish Fish pre mixed. It was great. Taste much more like the candy than the flavor I use.

Does anyone else sell Swedish Fish flavoring?

I have not tried the FW version but i recently picked up TFA's Swedish Gummy flavor and love it .

I also picked up Capella's Jelly Candy flavor and love that one as well .

I feel kind of foolish saying this, but if you are trying to compare any single concentrate to a vendor's pre-mix, I hope you are factoring in the likelihood of the vendor using multiple ingredients. I imagine that there are instances of single-flavor premixes on the market but I would guess they are very much in the minority (no one who is trying to sell a product wants it easily replicated... yeah, yeah, I know, "what about Pet Rocks?" <must be a child from the 70's to get reference>).

I have no doubt which "fish" concentrate they are using is important to replicating it (I know you didn't say that was your goal); but so is whatever else they are putting in it. Are they giving the strawberry a bump? do they add something for extra sweetness or mouthfeel? What about secondary fruit notes? It is possible that they selling a souped-up FW (or ?) fish. I'm sure, as a DIYer, you understand what I am trying to say.

Yeah I understand, crooked's "Fisk" was great. Almost had a slight white tea taste. I'm not trying to copy that even know I wish I could.

I normally make 1200ml at a time so not really looking to mix flavors.
