To think if you can manage a piece of fish, you can eat 4 fishfingers

[YesIProbablyAmGreedySoWhat]

Had fishfingers over the weekend and it reminded me of the thread about how many ff is enough/a portion and made me wonder why people could eat a piece of boxed fish, say youngs for example, but would struggle to eat more than 3 fishfingers? Or could eat a steak but wouldn't have more than 2 sausages?

Is it just because its one piece of fish/steak, but a perceived greedy number of fishfingers or sausages?

If you are posting just to say you only eat a quarter of a piece of triangle fish and anything else is greedy, I ate all 10 fishfingers in the box on sunday.

Personally I cant eat any fish fingers I think they are horrid

I love grilled of pan-fried fresh fish though. Just keep the breadcrumy stuff away from me.

I should add that this is related to my gallbladder, which my doctor likes to describe as “a bit lazy but otherwise healthy.”

I’m a whole-box-of-fishfingers kinda gal too! 👋🏽

As usual there is a problem of "what's the whole meal" .
I could eat whole pack of fish fingers because I may have bit of fries and veg like cucumber and tomato.
I am assuming those with 2 have heftier sides.

Also, people should pribs mention if they have medical reasons like 1 poster did straight away for smaller appetite. Otherwise it just looks like someone is trying to be bit "better than the rest"

Doesn't it depend on the size of the bread or roll you're making the sandwich with? And ketchup? Seriously? Obviously mayonnaise and iceberg lettuce!

The ordinary ones, 4 or 5. Sainsbury's TtD large haddock ones only two. But always chips, peas and cauliflower cheese from a bag, plus both tartare sauce and malt vinegar. Think we might have that tomorrow night.

2 Fish fingers is only a couple of bites, just about right for a toddler.

I have 6 fish fingers, chips and spaghetti hoops - I would no way feel satisfied with 4.

On a sandwich then it's 4 , I'd usually have 3 if I'm having it with potato and beans

2 sausages on a sandwich or on a meal

Same here
And all ten fish fingers.

Four fit perfectly on a slice of Warburtons "toastie" bread.

Two slices of Warburtons (butter on one), four fish fingers, and a bit of brown sauce - dinner of champions.

4 fat fishfingers as tacos with red cabbage, peppers, salsa, cheese and lettuce.

I always have 2 fish fingers or 2 sausages, as I thought that was the amount everyone has as it was the ‘normal’ amount.

I struggle with what’s normal when it comes to food so I’m glad I read this thread.

I’m having fish fingers tonight and I’m going to push the boat out and have 3 😁

Fish fingers are one of those things I can just eat endlessly. Sometimes with vinegar, sometimes with lemon. Just a neverending stream of fish fingers. Regardless of the quality. Floppy, crispy I don't care.

The only thing that stops me is the absurd amount I'd have to buy to feed my two resident teen sons & DH.

Maybe, though, in the interests of science I should find out what my limit is

@Itsnotchristmasyet if you get the Fish Finger Happy Meal from McDonald's you get 3 - and Happy Meals are for little kids.
Therefore the rules are you must eat a least 3 🤣

3 sausages or 3 fish fingers here.

DDs primary school give 1 sausage to KS1 and younger, 2 to KS2 or 2 fish fingers for KS1 and 3 for KS2.

So I think 3/4 of each is an adult portion.

I ate a whole box of twenty once, in the middle of the night.
I was pregnant and I just fancied them.

That is all the evidence I need! 🤣

i literally do not know which way the disorder is? the OP is greedy or starving herself?

I'm a 2 fish finger person myself on the vanishingly rare times I buy them. Plenty of vegetables though.

Maybe it’s what you are having them with? If you are eating a piece of fish with some boiled potatoes and steamed veg, that isn’t as filling as fish fingers with mash/chips and beans.

I am genuinely impressed. Well played!!

Outstanding effort 🫡

6 fish fingers and 3 sausages. With mash, I don't eat bread. Not a big fan of FF, but when I do eat them, I have 6. Bog standard-sized ones, from Tesco or Lidl, not some fancy big ones from Waitrose or similar. I'm slim, low end BMI if it matters. If someone served me 2 FF I'd be mystified and would think it's a joke. 4 is also not an adult portion for me, my DD ate 4-5 since toddler (she's isn't and never been overweight). 10 is pushing a boat (with sides) and I wouldn't eat it, but wouldn't judge anyone who did, not my business.

I also can't manage to stretch one chicken to feed 4 people for a whole week, don't eat crusty bread with lashings of REAL butter and massive salads.

I have 3. I like a fish finger sandwich or wrap, with lettuce and tartare sauce.
