The modal American is the more correct term I guess. Mode is a type of average, so it works out.

I think what we're getting from this is that the modal American doesn't eat fish sticks in a typical year, since the mean American eats half a serving.
It's likely that modal group is so large that the median American doesn't eat any in a typical year, either.
For the record: I have eaten 0 fish sticks in 2020, so far, and expect that the record will stand.
