Fishfingers cooked in butter 🤢

[Sophisticatedsarcasm]

I’m generally open about food but one thing I can’t stand that DP loves is fishfingers cooked in butter. I’ve never heard of anyone doing this. I agree each to their own and was just wondering if anyone else has this?

Not until about 30 seconds ago...

I wouldn’t cook them that way - I just grill them.

One of my favourite lunches is a wrap with fish fingers, salad, and tartare sauce!

I’ve been with him for 14 years and hes cooked them loads of times. We usually grill them but once in a while he will have them with butter. I tried it once some years ago and was almost sick and I like a lot of foods. I just have never heard of it before.

Sorry I’d never heard of others doing it...

I do my fish fingers in a pan in a bit of butter (mmm lovely) because the grill is a PITA to clean.

Omg he'd be as well inserting them straight into his arteries
Reminds me of my mother who used to butter fried bread. obviously she's dead now

That. Sounds. Amazing.

🤢 don't they go all soggy?

Fish fingers need to be crisp on the outside, hot and moist but not wet on the inside.

Can not stand soggyness.

Yes I know it's not a word, but fish fingers cooked in butter shouldn't be a thing either.

Doesn''t sound good to me - i cook mine in the oven on the very rare occasion I fancy them - they are dry and crispy which I prefer.

I fry my fish fingers in butter. And have butter on the (must be white) bread if I'm buttyfying it. Bliss!

Oh wow. I have a fishfinger sandwich about once a year and always fry the fishfingers (otherwise they are too dry) doing it in butter sounds amazing. Please thank your DH for me, for this culinary masterpiece.

Sogginess is a word tak a very very good word.

I love Butter and I love Fish fingers, together? No, just no.

I love a nice bit of plaice or sole basted with brown butter and some lemon.

But no, just no.

🤢

I've never heard of adults eating fish fingers.

Personal preference. If you don't have to eat it that way it doesn't really matter?

My MIL bakes them on a tray brushed with butter. Soggy.

People fry fish fingers wow, this is a revelation!

Whatshallidonowpeople you’ve never seen the lunch menu of a British pub? Snobbery wins you no points when you’re missing out on one of lifes simple pleasures.

I fry fish fingers, much moister than grilled. In a buttered bread sarnie with lettuce and lots of tartare sauce.

I always cook them in the oven, nice and hot for a few minutes less than suggested. Crisp outside, moist inside, never known them to be fried in butter until now!

I wouldn’t cook them in butter but would always butter the bread on a fish finger sandwich so can’t be too outraged at the idea.

thirtyplusone 😂 great response! Who hasn’t heard of adults eating fishfingers??!

They never end up soggy believe it or not, usually crispy.
@candyflip DP is happy you want to try this, he tried to high five me when I pointed out I think they are vile 😂

Klaxon: Food issues alert!!

If you are going to fry your fingers (and I can see that it would be quicker and easier especially if you are just doing a few for a sandwich) then you need a bit of fat to stop sticking/ burning. I can't see why using butter instead of oil is an issue at all, it's just a personal preference.
