With a tomato?? My friend is here and horrified

Aldi chunky! My fingers are too chunky, clearly 🤣

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

Also chubky haddock fish fingers are lovely. Not slimy at all. How are you cooking yours?

3 in sandwich with Tartar sauce would be enough for me.

Too bready. Far rather 10 fish fingers.

Horrified? Really! 🙄

Katemax82 · 07/04/2025 21:17

I could happily eat that with curry sauce, no tomato

bridgetreilly · 07/04/2025 21:16

I can only eat fishfingers in packet quantities. So I generally buy packets of eight because then I have to stop.

Three? Always 4 in a sandwich. Someone hasn't read their Debrett's recently Shock

Show quote history

I like to squeeze a fifth one in. Mainly as no one eats them but me and I don’t like leaving two in a box.

Agree! I also like three in a sandwich longways from top to bottom of the slice

Barney16 · 07/04/2025 21:11

Since I was a little girl a portion of fish fingers has always, always been 4. About six months ago I read the packet. A portion is 3. I was completely amazed. So, well done OP for doing your thing. I applaud your commitment.

That's a gargantuan serving that should feed 5 people. Do you pig out like this regularly or is it a special occasion?

I'm still struggling to work out if that poster was being serious or is exaggerating teeny tiny portions for comic effect.

But this must be the first MN thread with many people telling the OP she should swap some of her protein items for evil carby bread.

Pinkdreams · 07/04/2025 20:43

I could have this along with some waffles or hash browns 😂😂

The tomato bothers me.

Its really upset me this evening to be honest.

AtleastitsnotMonday · 07/04/2025 20:40

Waitrose essentials fish fingers are 53 calories each so 530 calories for lunch isn’t that remarkable, a Waitrose ham and cheese ploughman’s sandwich is 560 calories and no one would bat an eye at that.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 07/04/2025 20:39

Naff white bread x2 slices or a tortilla wrap
4 fish fingers
Ketchup
Tartare sauce
Gherkin
Magnificence! I have checked in my freezer to see if there's fish fingers for tomorrow's lunch 😁

Mrsgreen100 · 07/04/2025 20:37

Wow great effort
4 fish fingers and lots of tomatoes for me

WaffleParty · 07/04/2025 20:35

Catinabox21 · 07/04/2025 14:17

It’s not the fish fingers but the random tomato along side that’s making me twitchy. One doesn’t go with the other IMO. Swap it for tomato ketchup.

Edited

Yes OP lets talk about this

This is wrong

Peas, yes
Mayo, yes
Some form of carb, yes
At a push potato salad perhaps?

But a lone tomato. Are you slicing it. Is there salt on it?
What variety of tomato?

3 in sandwich with Tartar sauce would be enough for me.

3 doesnt fit in a sandwich, you need 4, possibly 5. Otherwise you have empty bread in one side of it.

Funny.

Harshreality · 07/04/2025 18:06

I am fairly confident I could smash 30 fish fingers no problem

GetMeOutOfMeta · 07/04/2025 17:58

All I can hope is that you rammed each one individually onto your fingers and thumbs and made a huuuuuge deal of being so hungry you could eat your own hands...

5foot5 · 07/04/2025 17:57

I don't think I have eaten that many fish fingers in my whole life!

Growing up my DM preferred fish cakes so I only had fish fingers occasionally at a friend's house. As an adult they have never really been on my radar.

ButtCheeks · 07/04/2025 17:57

Careful, there’ll be “those” posters along soon saying they ate one fish finger in 1991 and they’re still soooo stuffed!!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 07/04/2025 17:53

Yabu because they're not between bread with tomato sauce
