The surprising choice of fish sticks for the brand
The decision to attempt the record with fish sticks came from his familiarity with the food and previous experiences. “I decided fish sticks were a possibility, as I already have a few less formal food records, so it’s something that appeals to me,” Davies told Guinness World Records, explaining the quirky choice that would catapult him to fame.

Speed was essential to achieving the record, demonstrating a refined technique.
