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.

13yr DS usually has around 5 fish fingers plus chips and veg.

2 fish fingers is a toddler sized portion. 🤦🏻‍♀️

6-8 in our house, teenagers and adults. With peas or baked beans (and sometimes mash).

Or 4 in a sandwich (with cucumber and brown sauce)

We're all a healthy weight but 3 or 4 wouldn't touch the sides!

Cucumber 😱😱😱😱😱😱 and brown sauce😱😱😱😱😱- are you okay?😂

3-4 and I love a fish finger

ArabellaScott · 17/11/2022 19:02

4

I only have two. I don’t need anymore 🤷‍♀️

I only have two. I am 50 and that is the protein element only. I eat more than 2 fishfingers for my meal!

GiltEdges · 17/11/2022 19:02

It’d be 2 for a child and 4 for an adult in our house.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 17/11/2022 19:02

I was so irked then that I forgot to post about the fishfingers from Ocado - Russell's - they're six in packet, very chunky and absolutely delicious. I don't know where they're stocked but Ocado is the distributor.

@@NotQuiteUsual can they be the Asda waffles with carrot in so we don’t need any veg?

Don't be daft, the beans are the veg! We may only get one of our five a day. We may get scurvy from the lack of nutrients. We may die young from overindulgence. But we'll die full of fish! And I can't think of a better way to go

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

anymore is massively greedy.

I’d have 4, and I’m slim (borderline underweight) and it’s often commented that I eat quantities suitable for a dormouse…

I also have two. I’m not a competitive undereater either.

Some people have eight each?! Mental.

Delatron · 17/11/2022 19:04

3-4 in a sandwich with other things. I wouldn’t want more than 4 as I don’t love them and would get bored eating lots of them.
kids have 3.

FluffyPancake · 17/11/2022 19:04

Fishfingers aren’t for adults in this house. A nice piece of battered cod thanks.

LesLavandes · 17/11/2022 19:04

5 for an adult

BabbleBee · 17/11/2022 19:04

4 in thick chunky white bread with loads of tartare sauce. God I hate being gluten free…

StatisticallyChallenged · 17/11/2022 19:04

Birds eye cod fish fingers are 28g

Their basic fish fillets are 110g - pretty much 4 fish fingers

Their jumbo fish is 200g - 7 fingers

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 17/11/2022 19:04

None because i dont eat them 😁

DP has 8
DS 7 has 6
DD 5 has 2
DD 4 has 1 (she has a very small appetite and would rather eat the veg that comes with it)

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

LOL. Are these jumbo homemade fish fingers or bog standard supermarket frozen variety?

According to my App, Cod fish fingers have around 62 calories each so 5 fish fingers will be only 310 calories.

TenoringBehind · 17/11/2022 19:05

4 is plenty, I think. I tend to have them in a sandwich rather than as an evening meal.

Baconand · 17/11/2022 19:05

I usually have 5, sometimes 6, DD is 3 and has 3, but has occasionally had 4.

Justcashnosweets · 17/11/2022 19:05

4 or 5 for me, any less would be a snack!

Tigofigo · 17/11/2022 19:06

We get the big chunky luxury type ones, I'll have 2 of those but that's equivalent to maybe 5 normal ones, but the ratio of fish to crumb is better.

OhmygodDont · 17/11/2022 19:06

Dh says 8 😅
