To eat 10 fish fingers for my lunch?

With a tomato?? My friend is here and horrified

I bloody love fish fingers. If I'm having them with chips and peas, then five will do but I could probably do more if it were just fish fingers and nothing else. I also love to remove the breaded coating and put it in a little pile on my plate, smother it in salt and vinegar and eat it separately from the fish which I also smother in salt and vinegar.

I'm often accused of competitive under eating but even I'd have 3 or 4.

But if you're worried about an entire pack being 'too much' just get them in boxes of 30 so you're only having a small amount out of the box, so that's OK.

I think it depends on what/when your main meal is. Two for lunch would be fine for me, but I would probably have 3 or 4 for my main evening meal. 10 is off the scale.

I haven't actually eaten fish fingers since DS was little, and I'm wondering why! 🤔

DrCoconut · 13/04/2025 17:34

I like fish fingers but I have to have them gluten free so probably wouldn't eat 10 at once due to the cost, I have to spin them out a bit. Has anyone mentioned fishfinger pie? Like cottage pie but with fishfingers and tomato sauce at the bottom? Food of the Gods.

Me too. But I'd probably just have two with tomato sauce on in white bread and butter if I was on my own for lunch.
10n s a whole pack and a bit indulgent!

A box of fish fingers is the ultimate hangover cure for me. Covered in vinegar. Pure excellence 🤤

ViaRia01 · 13/04/2025 17:23

I would quite happily eat ten fish fingers for lunch but if I had a visitor I would eat something normal instead.

It’s a lot tbf OP, and pretty expensive.
but you do you.

Two quid? Three quid? Less than a quid if you get the cheap ones?

I know we get the competitive frugality on here, but how is that expensive?

Its really upset me this evening to be honest.

I can't settle. I need to know if you're okay?

Best sandwich -:fish fingers, battered, with mayo in a wrap and potato slices, crispy.

Toasted bread, bacon and brown sauce.

Pickingmyselfup · 13/04/2025 16:52

Sorry but I'm disappointed in your choices.

At home a fish finger sandwich should consist of 4 fish fingers, homemade chips, cheese, ketchup and mayo in a white sliced bread sandwich.

When out a brioche bun, tartare sauce and mushy peas. No chips, just the sandwich.

The homemade chips should also be cooked in plenty of oil and a little garlic for flavour.

Now I want a sandwich but I'm not sure we have fish fingers and I really can't be bothered to make the chips.

Sorry but if 10 is top many then 2 is far too few. 5 or 6 surely!

Hello 👋 that is my random made up recipe using fresh mango cheeks diced up along side diced cucumber and spring onions .
Add lime juice , a little salt to taste and coriander if you like it .
I guess the quantities.
mexican dips are in Sainsbury’s or Tesco but Waitrose mexi dips are even better .
if I can get good avocados I make my own guacamole

Shortcut fish tacos, love em!

@easypeelings, you've clearly been buying the wrong fish fingers. Plenty are nothing like you describe nor UPF.

I often have nothing but fish fingers for my dinner but I am an autistic person and a perpetual child. It has to be the Bird's Eye cod fillet ones that cost about £6 now. I usually have 5 but I eat very little. Salt, vinegar and tomato sauce. Yum. Comes out at about 350cals so definitely nothing like celery.

Wishing14 · 13/04/2025 12:09

I really love a (massive) fish finger salad. Usually have 6 but could quite easily eat 10!

Bjorkdidit · 13/04/2025 09:50

Daftypants · 13/04/2025 09:31

I’d eat 2 or 3 of the big “ luxury “ fish fingers in a tortilla wrap with a bit of salad and either a home made mango 🥭 salsa ( easy and delicious) or those Mexican dips you get ( pack of 4 different ones including guacamole 🥑)
In fact sometimes that’s our dinner here 😋

AfricanGreen · 13/04/2025 09:49

My limit is 7 plus one for the dog.

EasyPeelings · 13/04/2025 09:43

I would have trouble forcing down just one! Horrible things! Mashed up fish scraps covered in fluorescent orange crumbs of dubious composition. I try to avoid UPF as much as possible.

Why not have an unadulterated fish fillet instead?

You are unreasonable for not putting them in a sandwich!

I could eat fish finger sandwiches all day long.

Slimey, processed orange rectangles of unnamed fish? Ten of them? Why would you want that?? 🤣

They taste nice.
(if they are slimy you aren't cooking them enough)
