Swedish Fish is a fish-shaped chewy candy, originally developed by the Swedish candy producer Malaco. In Sweden, large amounts of confectionery are sold every year, and a substantial part of it is sold as pick and mix. The Swedish Fish candy is marketed under the name "pastellfiskar", literally "pastel fish", and under the Malaco brand among others. Swedish Fish consumed in North America are made in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, by Mondelēz International. In Canada, Swedish Fish are distributed under Cadbury's Maynards brand. The fish are distributed in the U.S. by Mondelēz International, and are most commonly found in specialty candy stores in which they can be bought by the ounce. A recent resurgence in popularity has resulted in greater accessibility in supermarkets and convenience stores where they are often sold prepackaged in plastic bags. Originally colored red with a flavor unique to the candy (often guessed to be lingonberry, but never verified), they are now also available in several different colors, such as Orange & Lemon-Lime. Purple Swedish Fish in grape flavor were discontinued in 2006. The fish come in two different sizes. Initially, the smaller fish came only in red; now fish of both sizes are available in all flavors. According to a visit to the factory on the Food Network's show Unwrapped, green is not lime, but pineapple flavor, while yellow is a lemon-lime flavor. *** Description sourced from Wikipedia.
