Yes I’m posting in Aibu because this is causing ww3 in my house currently.

yabu: 4 is plenty.
yanbu: 4 is a child portion.

3 with chips and beans for an adult. 2 with beans and less chips for a child.

@Obviouslyanamechange1 unless on diet, I strongly suspect they have more sides😉
Like take 4 of your ff off and add similar amount in smilies

celticprincess · 18/11/2022 18:27

We have the giant chunky ones. I have 1 with chips but my DD13 has 2 with chips. No idea on small ones.

yeah they probably do!

although extra fish fingers is better than any side but I suppose that’s down to opinion isn’t it!

I thought 2 for under 8s then 3/4 for older kids
Would buy a fish portion for adults 🤔

FancyFran · 18/11/2022 18:30

I have 4 small ones or two Marks big ones. From my nutrition exam I remember 8 0z/200g of fish is a portion. I don't tend to have chips either as too much starch. Beans yes. My DC liked them with cucumber when they were small. Post booze, food of the Gods in a sandwich.

Sennelier1 · 18/11/2022 18:30

An adult portion of fresh fish is 120 to 130 gr. You can maybe weigh your fishfingers to decide how many of them would make a portion? (Depending on their size.)

I genuinely don’t believe an adult would eat fish fingers as an actual meal!

villagelife77 · 18/11/2022 18:34

Please tell me that’s not for an adult??!! Surely adults don’t have that kind of dinner?! 😵

All of us adults having fish fingers for dinner must be hallucinating 🤣

I can’t believe all these posters that miss out on food because it’s “kids” food. Nuts. Food is food and as a wise young man once said, “chicken nuggets is life.”

4 is plenty for an adult/older teenager
2-3 for children😀

Lozois99 · 18/11/2022 18:49

Four

MotherOfPuffling · 18/11/2022 18:50

I mean, they are only for DD here but that’s partly because I’m veggie, and partly because they’re so flipping expensive now, so her dad has to do without when he joins us for dinner! I just give him a load of pasta 😂

I do sometimes and not afraid to admit it 😂

MotherOfPuffling · 18/11/2022 18:51

Before going veggie I LOVED fish fingers and would have said a minimum of 4 to a portion, more depending on what is being had with.
