Something fishy is going on down at Woolies. They damn near broke social media when their first ‘seafood sausage’ went on sale last week, and in the days that have followed, two similar products have gone on sale.

From hake sausage, to haddock and trout…

Woolworths has confirmed that both CHEESE AND HADDOCK SAUSAGES and TROUT SAUSAGES (pictured above) are also available to buy in-store and online. The hake version, which has absorbed most of the outrage, remains on sale too – completing the retailers range of fish-packed wors.

All three of the aforementioned sausages are suitable for halal, and range between 500 – 800 kJ per 100g. Each product is on sale for R99, and you get R40 knocked off your bill if you buy any two of these seafood sausages – knocking more than 20% off the initial price. Now THAT leaves a good taste…
