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?

It annoys me that Fish and Chips shops often do chicken nuggets but no fish fingers!!

Microwave busy? you’re dirty.

There are two kinds of people on MN. The people who say oh that sounds nice or whatever and the people who spend 10 minutes making up elaborate stories about why, once every 22 years, a fish finger may have ended up in a kitchen on their street but it was a very rare occasion.
I don't think the latter really exist in real life...someone would have bashed them over the head with a frying pan (complete with artery busting fat) with Love Island blaring in the background, whiletheir children look at a screen and their partner revs up the 4x4

Well, I'd never heard of it, but I fry fish in breadcrumbs for our fish and chips in sunflower oil, so it's not that weird a concept? The only thing I suppose is that you'd want the butter to be hot enough to crisp up the breadcrumbs without burning.

Food of the gods. Waitrose do adult fish fingers (massive) in the fresh fish bit which are for grown ups or people who judge fish fingers eating adults. They are a happy youthful memory.

We have a 4x4 and we love a fish finger sandwich. I wonder if the non fish finger eating adults eat goujons?

Well, either I have been at the culinary edge for the last 25 years or I'm the village idiot, because I've been "lightly sauteeing them in butter" without even considering the oven or grill. I just thought "everything tastes better in butter" and I was right.

Ponders which of the 2 types of MN'er I am?

Sadly JJ I do only eat them once every 22 years (it feels like) where I live fishsticks are the most disgusting thing known to humankind. Probably even fried in butter, definitely in the microwave..or worse the actifry.

Never fried in butter but have put butter on top and cooked in hot oven.

I'm a few days into the Cambridge diet so very keen on food threads, what I would give for a fish finger sandwich, cooked any old way but LOTS of butter on the bread. And also a sausage sandwich with butter, ketchup, onions and mustard oozing. And not yer crappy artisan bread, Tesco saver thick sliced white ❤

candy yes me too. In Qatar, fish fingers are chewy and grey. Birds Eye are about 6 quid a box!

But does he have them with custard?

Love a chip butty. We tried to have them the other day but we only had worthy rye and seed bread. It was OK but it does have to be soft pappy white bread covered in butter for the full experience.

“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”

Can someone explain to me why fried bread would be any worse than bread with butter on it?

Yuck. My DM's neighbour fries Christmas pudding in butter. .

Oooooh - am suddenly dreaming of a fish finger sandwich!

The trouble is, today's fish fingers are a shadow of their former selves - grey and tasteless.

Who sells the best ones?
Can anyone help?

I actually can't imagine making a fuss about my husband's eating habits! I work a very antisocial duty cycle and offshore and I know well that everyone exists on sandwiches and pizza when I'm not there. As an adult, he can eat what he bloody well likes although I don't like him buying local meat because of the way it's killed.

yuk , not to keen on any fried food tbh. Fish finger sarnie in wholemeal bread with brown sauce heaven

"Can someone explain to me why fried bread would be any worse than bread with butter on it?". Because fried bread is already loaded with fat, having been fried in lard/bacon fat/whatever - and then to add butter on the top would be a cholesterol overload!!

Lucky11111. Waitrose do lovely, own brand fish fingers. Don't look in the freezer section, but in the chilled fish section. And they're twice the size of, say, Bird's Eye frozen fish fingers. And, while you're at it, in the same section they do a brilliant, fresh tartare sauce in tubs!!

I really wanted a fish ginger sandwich until a chip butty was mentioned. Oh the dilemma I’m going to have at lunch time.

@DeadGood I think the suggestion is that the pp’s Mum used to fry the bread AND then butter it afterwards.

(Super skinny ) DH fries them in oil, but he fries almost everything - including oven chips!

I just grill them. If butter came into it for me, it would be in the form of a fish-finger sandwich.

When I was little I had an au pair who boiled them...

Butter seems delicious in comparison

Never cook them in anything either. I just grill them. I think I would find them too slimy.
