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.

5 or 6 for an adult

4 for a child

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe, I present you with the world's most expensive fish finger sandwich, at £187 a pop.
Or you may prefer to ditch all the frippery, and head straight for world's heaviest fish finger, produced by a German

The Guinness World Records world record for the largest fish finger weighed 136 kg (299 lb 13 oz) and was made by Michael Gorich (Germany) in Bremerhaven, Germany, on 22 January 2009. The fish finger measured 2 m (6 ft 6 in) long, 50 cm (1 ft 7 in) wide and 14.5 cm (5.7 in) high.

Gerron that sandwich looks too pretty to eat! I must admit, I thought some oft the fishfingers looked less orange than I'm used to and now see that they're covered in gold leaf. I would take that off, it gives them a mouldy hue. I'd have some extra violets instead.

I had fishfingers last night, I now want them again... Grin

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 20/11/2022 16:51

... actually, I'd just pull the non-gold fishfingers out and eat those. <philistine>

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 20/11/2022 16:53

Or, I could have that single German fishfinger and be within bounds of the Mumsnet vocal, "I only have ONE fishfinger and am satisfied/overstuffed with that"? Grin

Gah. I'd do 2, easy.

Just to goad the undereaters ...

Yes you should be ashamed 😂 I let them cool a bit .
I've never bought a box that has ever made it into the freezer .

Conkersareback · 20/11/2022 18:12

@Wiccan the roof of my mouth bears the scars of my shame .... 😞

Caramelsmadfuzzytail · 20/11/2022 19:00

Crispy pancakes have shrunk and don't taste the same as they did when I was a kid 40 years ago.

TabithaTittlemouse · 17/11/2022 18:22

I genuinely can’t believe people would need more! 😂

They do 🙂 beef & onion / ham & cheese / Tomato & Mozzarella. not too keen on the latter just tastes like Bolognese sauce to me .

audeloquipalam · 21/11/2022 00:52

Haven’t read the thread. The answer is: all the fish fingers that are available. Folded into thick slices of white bread with too much salt.

CourtneeLuv · 21/11/2022 01:35

I still miss chicken curry flavour crispy pancakes.

transformandriseup · 21/11/2022 03:35

I think they are smaller than they used to be. I remember having 2 at primary school age and then 3 as a teen.

canonlydoblue · 21/11/2022 20:34

A primary school child's portion is three fish fingers. My five year old just requested four with beans for her dinner. I would do five or six for an adult.

Queenfreak · 21/11/2022 20:37

My 5 year old is served 3 but rarely eats them all. I would have 4, my husband 6. I'm not a small lady either!

MotherofPearl · 21/11/2022 20:38

Fish fingers are not adult food.

Gymrabbit · 17/11/2022 18:18

With chips and beans I’d have 3 and I’m both overweight and a bit piggy.

anymore is massively greedy.

What would you give a child? Do you never eat a full fish and chips to yourself?

I think 3 fish fingers or more than is hardly greedy.

Whalesong · 21/11/2022 20:41

8 for an adult male (in our household they're all lean but over 6' tall). 4-6 for a growing tween / teen.
2-3 for me, lol.
I used to be accused of being mean by a friend of DS - age about 8 - for not letting him have at least 10, because that was the "normal" portion in his house. I replied that in that case he could have a second dinner when he got home as I didn't have any more (true).
