How many fish fingers?

[MrsMiddleMother]

Just dishing up dinner before I head out to work, just an easy fish fingers, chips and veg and suddenly thought 'how many fish fingers do I give an 11 year old? I wasn't sure whether 2 was enough or 3 too much, they do eat quite a lot.

How many would you give an 11 year old?

3 or 4.

@Postdatedpandemic

I've just had 4 fish fingers in a curry.

There is no upper age limit on fish fingers, they are the ultimate convenience food.

Mind blown

The primary school I worked in served 3 with chips and beans.

Wh..what? You did what? I’m torn between horrified and really tempted

This is last friday’s fish finger katsu. Bloody lovely.

3-4

4 minimum for a growing 11yo. They tumble the fish sticks around to put layers of ice on them before the crumb coating, so there's precious little fish in there. Fillets would be a better bet. Two is a joke!

My 4 year old has 3 ! my 16 month old has 2

DC 10&12.
Definitely 4.

My 5 and 8 year olds have 3 or 4 but no chips, just beans or peas

4yo has 3, 2yo has 2 (and 4yo is quick to polish off any leftover!)

Depending on appetite etc, I'd do at least 4/5 for an 11 year old.

Dd12 has 3. 4 if it’s a fish finger sarnie with a fried egg.

My 2 year old eats 3 plus chips and veg. He's completely normal weight for his age. So definitely 4 I would say.

I normally cook the whole packet and give the kids 4 each and spares incase they want seconds

1. I only have three as an adult.

None - mine watched Seaspiracy and that was the end of fish fingers here...

If eat 4 in a sandwich or three with chips. My six year old has three with veg (doesn't like chips, weirdo) so I'd reckon an 11 year old should have at least three?

1. But I’d make more so they could have extra if they were still hungry.

I asked my 13 year old and he said 10.

I'd okay 8 each and if still hungry they'd be sent towards a healthier extra.

11 is rather old for fishfingers unless in a sandwich.

😂😂😂😂😂

1. They’re tiny. That said someone will be along soon to say 1.5 should be enough with a massive salad.

You what? A fried egg in a fish finger sandwich! What madness is this….

4 or 5 fish fingers with chips and veg is standard for my 12yr DS and his friends.
