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 to 4 here. I really want a fishfinger sandwich now, the radio has also just mentioned fishfinger sandwiches must be a sign.

2?

1. At least.

4

4

I was shocked to see 3 as an option, but then again i have 5 on a buttie with a few as a chaser, so I'm a bit unreasonable it seems.

So I would go 4 or 5 realistically.

My lot like them on rice with sweet and sour sauce poured over

4-5

Those piddly wee Birdseye ones? My 8yo would eat 5 or 6.

The nice big fat Waitrose or M&S fresh ones, 3.

Depends. Fish fingers are my comfort food, I've been known to eat a whole pack on my own. For a hungry 11 year old I'd serve 4, lighten up on the chips if you're worried about empty carbs.

Mmmmm fish fingers....

I would eat a whole packet as well, they're not high in fat or salt and are so delicious. I'm the only one who really likes them, the others are sausage fiends.

I do quite like dipping them in bean juice too.

5 or 6 I would say. Really surprised at people feeding their 11 year olds 2, that seems like a toddler portion

I’m out for lunch tomorrow so won’t be having a big ‘tea’. I’ve just checked my freezer and there are fishfingers, so am already planning a butty tomorrow night.

4
My 9 and six year olds have 3 each

DD9 asks for 3, dS11 asks for lots but gets 4, I eat 4 and DH eats 8 or 9 with veg and chips.

I'm 37 and had 3 'chunky' ones tonight, with chips and peas. Plenty. Granted I'm no longer growing (not upwards anyway).

My 3yo has 3, my 7yo has 4!

My 11 year old dd would probably want 6-8 unless it was the giant ones. She'd have eaten 2 as a toddler 😆

My 2 year old has 3

My 9 year old doesn't like fish fingers so he has 4 chicken fingers. My 7 year old has 4 fish fingers

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

Have they watched cowspiracy too?

My ds loves fish finger sandwiches. He will have 4 in each (4 slices of bread)!!

3 at 11, 4 aged 12-13. After that your dc will probs shun them, shun you and grunt a bit.

1. 11yr old is pretty much adult sized. Though I often serve my dc (11&13) large crumbed fillets as they seem more filling after a busy school day. However, no one is ever too old for fish fingers!
