I’ve just had 5. I’ve just put another 5 in the oven. I reckon I could eat 15 quite easily. Is this normal

Wow that’s a lot GrinShock

4 or 5 is about my limit.

Bobsyer · 08/10/2021 17:50

I could probably eat 8-10 in two sandwiches if I put my mind to it.

ISpyCobraKai · 08/10/2021 17:50

It depends on what I'm having them with.
I usually have half the pack, so 4 or 5 with chips and beans/sketti.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 08/10/2021 17:51

I would never cook myself more than 3 but I could quite easily eat the full packet if left unattended

Strangevipers · 08/10/2021 17:54

Easy peasy lemon squeeze

Soggychip · 08/10/2021 17:54

Well I’ve just polished off ten and could def handle another 5. For a little person I think I must have a huge appetite.

For fun or is it life or death?

I just asked DH and he says 20, but if to save his life maybe 25 Grin Grin

We do love a fish finger though!

waybill · 08/10/2021 17:55

I think they are a lot smaller than they used to be. Three mouthfuls and gone.

SlidDownTheElephantsTrunk · 08/10/2021 17:56

By themselves? 20 I reckon. They aren't much bigger than chicken nuggets.

However, I don't really know as I don't like them.

PermanentTemporary · 08/10/2021 17:56

Yup depends on size. Certainly 20 of those teeny ones they do now.

Think I could go all night, I love a fish finger.

Passthecake30 · 08/10/2021 17:57

6 or 8. But I’d probably stop at 6 and eat something else instead.

Megistotherium · 08/10/2021 18:00
  1. It will be too boring to eat just that. But if that was only thing available, maybe 5.
immersivereader · 08/10/2021 18:02

Lol at is this normal

I reckon I could do 8

I could and (used to) eat 4 twixes at a time

MintyGreenDream · 08/10/2021 18:06

10+

FourTeaFallOut · 08/10/2021 18:08

Four works best in a fish fingers sandwich. Never managed more than one but that may have more to do with the blood drying volume of salt and vinegar I add.

MerryMarigold · 08/10/2021 18:08

Could I eat or would I want to eat? 5 max if I had chips or bread, baked beans or salad. I guess if completely alone with only ketchup then 10 but I'd only be eating them to fill up not to enjoy.

PeterPomegranate · 08/10/2021 18:11

I’ve only ever eaten 4 as a serving. But I’m sure I could eat more if they were in front of me. And to save my life I reckon I could manage 25 if that was the threshold needed 😂 And if I had mayonnaise.

OldTinHat · 08/10/2021 18:13

4 in a sandwich. With white bread. And the battered type of fish fingers. With tartar sauce. Lots of butter too. Oh damnit! Now I really want one of those RIGHT NOW!! 😂

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 08/10/2021 18:18

If it’s just fish fingers I could easily do 15.

4 if it’s in a fish finger sandwich.

6 if it’s with chips and veg.

Soggychip · 08/10/2021 18:26

It was 10 on their own as have completely run out of food. Could definitely do 25 to save my life. Hell, I could probably do 25 full stop. I do love fish fingers though

wildthingsinthenight · 08/10/2021 18:27

15 at least Grin

thetesdybears · 08/10/2021 18:30

I'm not a big eater so 6 maybe up to 8. I don't eat them so hard to gauge the equivalent to a slice of fish.

My 4yr old eats 4 and almost 2 yr old can eat 3 sometimes 4 too.

lachy · 08/10/2021 18:33

We went to a family party and my aunt cooked fish fingers for the children. Think she did 24.

The kids had a couple each and the adults polished the rest off - blink and you missed them.

They are standard fayre at family parties now and the amount has been at least doubled.

readwhatiactuallysay · 08/10/2021 18:38

15 easy, i dont think there's an amount i would get to and be "fed up" of eating them, and they are not very filling, so im saying 25 as a starting gambit, probably more.

I now feel like myself and DH are going to have a "fish finger off", game on !!!

KimchiJjigae · 08/10/2021 18:38

When I was pregnant with awful pregnancy nausea I couldn't stomach food at all. Went to work, got in about 11pm and for some reason the only thing I could possibly manage was fish fingers. Ate the box.
