whats the verdict on fish fingers?

[hermykne]

dd has fallen for them after seeing them on big cook little cook! and is eating them, first time shes had fish in 3yrs

are they nutriontious (however you spell that)
or not?

you alright skerries? LOL

Yes, DC.

No... ha ha. Must be the Canadian winter freezing my brain cells! Anyway it's the Irish shopping bill website that had a report on which brands were healthiest, best value, etc. so if you go to their homepage you can link to the article.

Avalon - I like that one where the woman is looking forward (profile) and the other tart is wide mouthed saying something funny to her and it's the advert for the shopping.

I always think she must be saying "this place is sooo crap eh?" and the other one is nodding and smiling and saying "yes. yes, it certainly is"

we have Bird's Eye ones about once every fortnight - but I must admit I wonder about the crumb coating and the colourings in it - in an idle - can't be bothered to find out about it kind of way.

the colour is paprika.

just read back through the thread - is the orange colour really just paprika ? May have to go and google now

i'm pretty sure it is. the only E number I think is just baking powder.

oh no, sorry, that's nuggets. I'm all confused now.

I do fish fingers despite being a no junk nazi.

the batter ones are MUCH nicer than the breadcrumb ones btw

batter ones? i've never tried the batter ones. i do like ff's. I never have them (because I'm 30!) but if I do have the odd bit off DS's plate, I find them very tasty indeedy.

I like fish fingers too. Might have some for lunch in fact.

aha - google saves the day !

Cod Fillet (64%), Batter (Water, Wheat Flour, Potato Starch, Salt), Breadcrumbs (With natural colours: Curcumin, Paprika Extract), Sunflower Oil

The Captain's Promise

I'm on a mission to offer the best kids' food you can buy. That's why everything in my range has to pass 3 vital tests...
the strict rules on salt & fat set by my nutritionist
no artifical colours, flavours or preservatives

now I will have to find something else to ponder while cooking them - maybe what goes into the onion rings they also have with them ?!

onions?

I had them a lot while pregnant - in a pita bread with spring onions and tomato ketchup - yummm

ooh, that sounds nice!

What does the Cap'n say about his dippers?

honest try the batter ones

they are LUSH

google asked me if I meant birds eye diapers - is that a freudian slip ?

My dad looks like Captain BirdsEye.

Of no relevance whatsoever to this thread though.

I need a lie down.

chicken dippers Ingredients

Chicken (51%), Batter (Wheat Flour, Cornflour, Salt, Maize Starch, Skimmed Milk, Powder, Breadcrumbs, Baking Powder (contains Raising Agents: E450, E500)*), Water, Sunflower Oil, Breadcrumbs, Salt, Natural Flavouring

• E450 and E500 are the basic ingredients of Baking Powder, which is used to make the batter light and crispy.

same promise as with FF

batter ones probably less healthy

but my children are skin and bone so I don't care

god they are good in a white bread sarnie with loads of tartare sauce

Usually end up in the bin anyway.

about the non-homemade nuggets

they ARE shite

the chicken crap that goes into them

a friend bought them for the dds when we went to stay - they STANK
