What’s an adult size portion of fish fingers??

[Boooooot]

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.

About 250 calories per fish finger, so 4 would be 1,000 cslories, plus chips and beans and you are up to an adult daily recommended intake.

I have 4

You. I want to party with you.

Birds Eye says 4 for an adult and looking at the nutritional value they are surprisingly low in calories.

My one year old just had two!

I have been known to eat an entire pack of 10 in one go 😳
In my defense.....just the fish fingers. Nothing with them. Literally just 10 fish fingers.
It's the best meal ever.

I once texted my then teenage (skinny as a rake) ds how many fishfingers he would like with his mashed potatoes. His reply was ’How many are there in the package?’ I said 30. He said ’Ok, I’ll have that then thanks.’

No, he didn’t get 30..

There are 70 calories in a fish finger you lunatic.

I have 4, I would prefer 5 but try and restrain myself!

2-3 for a child, 4 for an adult or teen. I'd expect adults to fill up with more veg.

What fish fingers are you eating? Aren't they about 60 cals?

There are 10 in a pack, so dh and I would eat 5 each

With salad and beans/chips/peas I would have 2.

Teen DD 4.

My one year old baby has just eaten two fish fingers ffs.

A one year old needs a huge amount of calories as they’re growing so much. I too would give a one year old two.
As a grown woman I’d have three. I can’t understand how anyone can eat 5 plus chips.

I'd say min 5 for an adult with chips and beans

3-5

Personally I would have 3, though

The thing is it’s wrong to just not make the entire packet. The question is how many packets.

if I’m making them for my 2 children who will eat 3/4 each (they are 2 and 4), I will have to make 2 packets because otherwise there are only 2-4 left over for DH and I to snack on.

We buy the massive ones, they come 6 in a pack. I like three in a sandwich with rocket and garlic mayonnaise.

Theres not even 250 calories in a battered fish fillet from the supermarket freezer...

You get 3 in a McDonald's happy meal. I have been known to buy 2 happy meals for myself but in the second one get cucumber slices instead of fries. So 6 fingers, feeble amount of fries and some cucumber. Not bad really.

Fish fingers are minuscule these days.

However many you want is right. If they're miniscule then 5, if they're massive then 3? I usually have 4 decent ones.

Fish finger party at mine. I'll get us an Asda own brand 30 pack each and a pack of potato waffles while I'm at it.

I'd only have 3 or 4 with chips and beans (and I'm generally quite greedy)

I have two 😬

My default would be to cook 2 for a young child and 3-4 for an older child or adult. Served probably with chips and peas. I can see how a growing teen or a manual worker might need more, but I think in our house we'd probably load up with the chips rather than adding extra fishfingers to add extra bulk. 4 is the perfect serving in a fish finger sandwich (with tartare sauce), as they fit side by side just perfectly on a slice of cheap white bread!
