To eat 10 fish fingers for my lunch?

With a tomato?? My friend is here and horrified

I sometimes do a couple of fish fingers in a wrap for lunch with salad and sauce and it's really good.

Calorie wise it’s probably a perfect amount. Much more protein than sticking them in a sandwich. It’s probably only the size of a breaded fish fillet.

Miaowzabella · 07/04/2025 16:53

I can't believe nobody has mentioned salad cream.

TicklishMintDuck · 07/04/2025 16:38

Eat as many fish fingers as you like. You do you! Really fancy some fish fingers now…

TaupePanda · 07/04/2025 16:12

At first I thought the tomato was a bit weird but now I'm definitely going to give it a try!

As for BU - I don't think so. You do whatever makes you happy! My kids are away right now, and I'm on my 4th (and final) day of exclusively eating croissants, chicken super noodles and pringles and I've bloody loved it.

A satsuma sized tomato was the perfect accompaniment to my fishy feast

While we're clairfying the tomato, how big of a tomato? A tomato can be anywhere from tiny cherry tomato to a huge beef tomato. I'm assuming somewhere in the middle, but the size of a satsuma? A small orange? A larger orange? What orange size of tomato did you have OP?

For those interested I slice the tomato really thinly and slice again and have a bit of tomato with each fish finger

I'm invested in the one tomato: did you nibble a bit with each fish finger or did you eat the fish fingers and have the tomato as an after 'dessert' like or something else?

Enquiring minds need to know 🍅

The tomato is a step too far op.
Ketchup, yes. If you have no bread, just dip the fishfingers in.
If the fishfingers are the only food in the house, then needs must.
Your friend is weird. Send them home.

Were they the chunky ones, if so that's exceptional 🙂

I could easily smash 10 fish fingers, they are tiny. If I was having them as part of a meal or on a butty, I'd go 4 or 5

Five fish fingers max with chips and salad. I do love a pasty. Cold with salad cream 😍

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

Yes..it was lunch!

Such greed. Nobody needs 10 fish fingers for lunch.

Riversof0tter5 · 07/04/2025 15:51

Gherkin, radish, onion, fresh cucumber, and some piccalilli on the side as it's springtime

Workoutrage · 07/04/2025 15:46

Are you hungover?

2 fish fingers is not an adult serving!

I don't understand. That's not a meal!
You need 4 in a sandwich with gherkins, a slice of plastic burger cheese and some mayo/tartar sauce.
That't a fillet-o-fish right there!

ohyesido · 07/04/2025 15:09

Why should you not? Tell your friend to go clutch her pearls elsewhere because you’re hungry

Pieceofpurplesky · 07/04/2025 15:07

Oh my goodness I am full after one fish finger and can never finish off my massive salad that I serve alongside.

I could easily eat 10!

DriveMeCrazy1974 · 07/04/2025 14:53

I think it depends on the size of the fishfinger to be honest. Some are so tiny, they're really not worth the effort. However, yesterday, we had some that were huge! They were Birds Eye 6 Crispy Battered Fish Fingers Extra Large - which I hadn't even realised I'd chosen in the online shop - they were lovely and the batter was tasty too, but we struggled to eat 3 each (and I have a HUGE appetite!).

2 fish fingers and 20% of a tomato per person? Far too much

I'd just need the crubs from the bottom of the airfryer
