Question 1

Is this the same as the American Swedish Fish?

Accepted Answer

No. This is the original Malaco Pastellfiskar made in Sweden since 1957. The Swedish recipe uses starch and citric acid while the American version uses mineral oil and different corn syrups. As a result, the texture here is a firm wine gum chew rather than a soft gummy. The flavours are also different, with lemon, orange, pear and berry in the Swedish version.

Question 2

What are the four flavours?

Accepted Answer

The four pastel colours represent lemon (yellow), orange (orange), pear (green) and berry (red). Each colour carries a distinct fruit flavour. Meanwhile, the flavours are subtle and balanced rather than intense, which is why Swedish candy fans often eat several fish at once to build the taste.

Question 3

Can I build a fruity candy box with these?

Accepted Answer

They work perfectly in a custom builder box alongside other fruity picks from the collection. Pair them with raspberry boats or peaches for a full fruit theme. Kandy Lover ships worldwide with free shipping on all orders. For help building the perfect selection, reach out to support@kandylover.com and the team will guide you.

Question 4

Why is this called a wine gum rather than a gummy?

Accepted Answer

Wine gums use starch as the main gelling agent, which produces a firmer, snappier chew. Gummy candy uses gelatin, which creates a softer, stretchy texture. The Swedish fish sits firmly in the wine gum category. As a result, each piece holds its shape longer and delivers flavour more gradually than a gelatin gummy.

Question 5

How fresh are these when they arrive from Kandy Lover?

Accepted Answer

Every bag ships directly from Sweden, packed fresh by the Kandy Lover team. There is no old stock sitting in a warehouse. The beeswax coating stays glossy, the chew stays firm, and the fruit flavours stay bright. All orders include free worldwide delivery, with express shipping available by contacting support@kandylover.com for faster arrival.
