To ask how to make fish fingers more exciting?

I make fish finger sandwiches (butter, ketchup, vinegar, tiny mayo).
I'm sure there must be better ways of eating them, does anyone have an amazing recipe to share?

I was thinking fish finger tacos with corn mini tortillas, inspired from tempura fish tacos I had in Margate once.

Nigella did an Asian recipe with fish fingers in one of her later books. I’ve not tried it recently but it was pretty good.

Ohh this rings a bell! Thanks for the reminder

A wrap.
Slather with satay sauce.
Stick in some raw spinach and other salady bits of choice.
Whack your cooked fish fingers in.
Roll.

It's SO tasty. Also works with fish or chicken goujon things.

turns out they weren't fried, but boy were they amazing. High Dive in Margate https://www.divemargate.com/dive

I was thinking something like this would be easy if I used fish fingers or tempura fish goujons, just bung them in the oven make the sauces

I like them in a wrap with salad and chilli mayonnaise.

Tartar sauce, romaine lettuce and black pepper, in a large floury white bap from a proper bakery.

I also lightly toast just the insides of the bread so it's slightly crispy. Plus lettuce and more mayo!

I like mine in a bread roll with a slice of plastic cheese and tartar sauce. Like a McDonald’s Filet o fish 😊

Yes, we often use the fish goujons for a taco filling with corn tortillas.

Fish fingers are perfection as is. But you could add lettuce?

Eat them on a roller coaster.
