Wikipedia: Swedish Fish
Swedish Fish is a fish-shaped, chewy candy originally developed by Swedish candy producer Malaco in the late 1950s for the U.S. market. The wrapper calls them “a fat free food”, and they are gluten-free. The sweet fish-shaped treats are marketed in different colors and flavors.
