The article also says that 64.4 million pounds of fish sticks were sold in in 1955, which means it's dropped quite a bit since then (and that was still under half a pound per person per year).

US population in 1955 was half the present population, though, so the average US person actually ate fish sticks at least once a year in 1955.

Under half a pound is adjusting for the lower population. 65m pounds of fish sticks and 156m people.
