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

Fair point! I’m definitely missing out!

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

You could have phrased that better, but I'm with you @villagelife77 😐[off to pop hard hat on]

NickyT64 · 18/11/2022 19:01

6!

villagelife77 · 18/11/2022 19:02

Mark it and next time you go somewhere shop on a way home😂

Yourcatisnotsorry · 18/11/2022 19:08

2 for primary school kids, 3 for an adult with chips and veg. 2 in a sandwich

2 fish fingers is the 2 year old portion size at family pub places. Some people must just be buying fucking huge fish fingers

Mueslikid · 18/11/2022 19:13

3 in a soft white roll with lettuce and mayo, and plenty of chips.

I don’t think I’d have them without bread though.

My kids still remember with awe the day we went to my friend's house and her husband had 10 fish fingers for his tea!!

Eekle · 18/11/2022 19:17

The box says 5 is a portion, and box portions skew small, so around 6 feels right.

DCs have had 3 each since around age 3.

I do the box........ 😳

rainbowandglitter · 18/11/2022 19:25

We do 3 for adults here. They're the Aldi cod ones.

queenMab99 · 18/11/2022 19:30

This question made me laugh, because when my late husband and I met, I had 2 teenage sons, and a pack of 10 fish fingers was enough, for the three of us. New 'friend' came for tea, unexpectedly, and we shared the pack between four. He later said, for future reference, that he normally ate a whole pack to himself! which I thought was rather greedy, but he did have an enormous appetite, he was 6' 4 a very large frame but rather boney, so obviously needed it. He never did get to eat a whole pack, but had to make do with more potatoes.

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

We have a tin of Haunted house spaghetti with our fish fingers and not one child in the house 😁

How are people making a fish finger sandwich with 2 fishfingers? Am I buying the wrong ones? I feel like half the bread wouldn't even be covered

I know right. Two standard ones wouldn't even touch the sides.

yourenotmyrealdad · 18/11/2022 19:55

2 fish fingers ! 4 in a sandwich, but if you're careful 5 can fit very nicely Smile

CoffeeDeprivation · 18/11/2022 20:00

I think it depends on size. Birdseye and the like, 5-6 for adults and 3-4 for kids in our house. The really chunky ones that are marketed as Taste the difference, Premium whatever, 3-4 for DH, 2 for kids.
