About This Candy
The Texture and Feel of Authentic Swedish Fish Candy
Swedish Fruity Fish delivers a bright, fruity sweetness the moment the smooth surface meets the tongue. The texture is firm, chewy and yields gradually with a dense wine gum body that sets it apart from gummy candy. Each piece has the classic fish shape with four pastel colours representing lemon, orange, pear and berry flavours. The citric acid adds a gentle tartness that lifts the fruit without making it sour. Meanwhile, the starch base creates a clean chew that snaps rather than stretches like gelatin gummies. As you work through the body, the fruit flavour builds steadily and fills the mouth with warm sweetness. The aroma is concentrated fruit with a clean, candy-sweet edge from the sugar base underneath. This authentic swedish fish has been made by Malaco in Sweden since 1957. The mouthfeel stays smooth with the beeswax coating keeping each piece glossy and separate in the bag. Overall, the four-flavour range and dense wine gum chew make this the real Swedish fish that started it all.
Why This Malaco Fish Candy Hits Different
These fish come from Malaco, now part of the Cloetta group and the original creator of the fish candy format. Swedish Fruity Fish is sold in Sweden as Pastellfiskar, which translates to pastel fish in English. The Swedish recipe uses starch and citric acid instead of the mineral oil and corn syrup found in the American version. Because the texture is a wine gum rather than a gummy, each piece has more bite and holds its flavour longer. Each bag arrives packed fresh by Kandy Lover and shipped directly from Sweden. As a result, the beeswax coating stays intact and the fruit flavours stay bright. If you enjoy fruity candy, explore our candy collection for more picks.
