Someone on here once recommended fish fingers sandwiches with buttered toast and lemon. Total gamechanger btw.

I'm intrigued...tell me more, please!

Put the fish fingers on three little plates, add a sun dried tomato and say it's tapas. Your friend will think you're on a fancy Mediterranean diet

TiredMummma · 07/04/2025 17:14

Not only horrified but also its kids food, which is why you need more. Why not get some fillets or fish cakes? The fingers are portion sizes for kids!

Riversof0tter5 · 07/04/2025 17:14

Assuming 70 calories per fish finger, you could eat 22-25 per day if not eating much else

There's no such thing as 'kids' food.

I think I would have 5.
was your friend hoping for the other 5 and was surprised you are 10?

lilacmamacat · 07/04/2025 17:19

I'm definitely up for 10 fish fingers. But that would leave 5 in the box. Probably would have to eat those as well.

user2848502016 · 07/04/2025 17:26

I mean eat whatever you want, but 10 fish fingers is a lot!!

AgnesX · 07/04/2025 17:29

Now I want fish fingers, we don't have any and it's only Monday 🥴

DurhamDurham · 07/04/2025 17:29

I could eat that if I was really hungry and I don't have a huge appetite. I reckon ten fish fingers is the size of a piece of battered fish from the fish n chip shop.
I hate breaded fish fingers, got to be battered for me.

Simplynotsimple · 07/04/2025 17:31

I’m not a fish fingers fan, how does 10 quantify in terms of one Massive Mumsnet Salad ™️? To be honest I licked the side of a cheese slice this afternoon and that’s me done with gluttony for the week…

FruityCider · 07/04/2025 17:33

Sometimes I cook a big breaded cod and whack it in a baguette with a pat of butter. Giant fish finger sandwich. Brilliant.

HelenWheels · 07/04/2025 17:35

i have never had a fish finger sandwich and nor do i ever want one
what is the brand @Member869894

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 07/04/2025 17:35

I can easily eat 6, no bread, just pickled onion vinegar. 😋

Oblomov25 · 07/04/2025 17:37

I can eat 4 in a sandwich. 5 on its own. After that I fund it starts to get dry, sticks to the roof of my mouth. I can't eat 6+.

Umidontknow · 07/04/2025 17:37

Could we all agree that the tomato is the weird part here 😆

KnickerFolder · 07/04/2025 17:49

It’s not exactly a balanced meal 😂 And 10 of those tiny little fish fingers are surprisingly a whopping 1100 calories! It’s a bit of a weird choice but if you are eating the right amount of calories and a balanced diet overall, what’s the problem? Proper fish and chips would have been tastier and less calories. Or 13 chocolate digestives 😂 But if fish fingers are what floats your boat, go for it.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 07/04/2025 17:53

Yabu because they're not between bread with tomato sauce

ButtCheeks · 07/04/2025 17:57

Careful, there’ll be “those” posters along soon saying they ate one fish finger in 1991 and they’re still soooo stuffed!!

5foot5 · 07/04/2025 17:57

I don't think I have eaten that many fish fingers in my whole life!

Growing up my DM preferred fish cakes so I only had fish fingers occasionally at a friend's house. As an adult they have never really been on my radar.

GetMeOutOfMeta · 07/04/2025 17:58

All I can hope is that you rammed each one individually onto your fingers and thumbs and made a huuuuuge deal of being so hungry you could eat your own hands...

Harshreality · 07/04/2025 18:06

I am fairly confident I could smash 30 fish fingers no problem

NuffSaidSam · 07/04/2025 20:28

Bogginsthe3rd · 07/04/2025 14:47

That's a gargantuan serving that should feed 5 people. Do you pig out like this regularly or is it a special occasion?

Funny.

soupyspoon · 07/04/2025 20:31

JustToBeMe · 07/04/2025 13:58

3 in sandwich with Tartar sauce would be enough for me.

3 doesnt fit in a sandwich, you need 4, possibly 5. Otherwise you have empty bread in one side of it.

soupyspoon · 07/04/2025 20:34

Catinabox21 · 07/04/2025 14:17

It’s not the fish fingers but the random tomato along side that’s making me twitchy. One doesn’t go with the other IMO. Swap it for tomato ketchup.

Edited

Yes OP lets talk about this

This is wrong

Peas, yes
Mayo, yes
Some form of carb, yes
At a push potato salad perhaps?

But a lone tomato. Are you slicing it. Is there salt on it?
What variety of tomato?
