We have either Cod or Haddock none of this mixed pollock stuff.

Older one at 9 yrs old has 3 to 4 fingers and the 7 yr old 3....
....but adults thats me cos I'm a greedy sod have at least 6 or 7 (lady of the house has 4) which I think is okay !

How many do you guzzle ?

and to add even better in pita with melted cheese !!!!

As many as will fit on the bread/toast for a sandwich (usually 4). if just on a plate, then the sky's the limit.

Traditional Birdseye ones.

Normally 6 birds eye jobbies with mash, peas and a bit of tartare sauce on the side.

In a buttie, just 4, with tartare sauce on buttered thick white bread

CFH for the win, the Waitrose ones are a lot bigger than normal ones.

THIS is what I call a thread!

Usually Cod or Haddock, Birds Eye, Findus or Youngs. On white bread. With Heinz tomato sauce.

*However* I did once have a competition with a mate of mine as to who could eat the most fish finger sandwiches, it involved Aldi fish fingers & lots of bread. IIR it was a draw at 16 FF & 8 slices of bread each.

Pollack's ok, it's Cod family.

As many as I can but less than 4 is just wrong and it should only be that low if they are in a sandwich.

Nowt wrong with Pollock either.

COD and how many do you have? I can eat them all.

Actually have not had them for 10 years as I stay clear of battered fish foods.

Easier to grill some oily fish and serve with tennis racket of French cheese sauces.

Lidl or Aldi ones, 4 at a time in a sandwich with butter one side, ketchup the other and - in a nod to healthy eating - a thick wodge of baby leaf salad.

Any and all of.

On buttered bread. Vinegar.

Mayonnaise and ketchup. Sometimes lettuce makes a show. Not often.

Cod or haddock. Four in a sandwich, or a few more if having them smooshed onto buttered baguette then dipped in heavily peppered tinned tomatoes.

The latter being my comfort food of choice.

Because of this thread I will in the next week try my first ever fishfinger sandwich. I'm still uncertain about the logic of putting something covered in breadcrumbs between slices of bread - culinary crossing-the-streams - but as the many political threads have shown, STWers are generally right about everything apart from bikes.

We had cuttlefish fingers on holiday in Portugal recently. They were 2 strips of cuttlefish with a sun dried tomato in the middle, in breadcrumbs and deep fried. Bloomin lovely were too

Noted with thanks. I've learned more in this thread than all the political threads combined.

Revs that sort of behaviour makes me crabby.

And no mention of salad cream in the butties what's wrong with you all? 😉

Waitrose own. 3 in a soft roll usually suffice . Salad cream. Lil J likes them too.
Sometimes we do exotic ones with brown sauce.
We get through a pack of 6 per week.

Any brand not fussy 6 or 8 dependent on hunger on either a ovenbottom or doorstop white with best butter and tommy k.

Friend of mine made his own "giant" pollock ones with seeded batch breadcrumbs
Were lovely but he refuses to make them again like the "baconator" but thats for another thread.

Depends on size. DIY with cornflakes crushed up for crumbs. Much better than frozen.

Never eat the things. Until Friday. Spotted some in local farm-shop/barn/restaurant type place. Very good they were too, actual fish, not floor-sweepings. Bread-crumbed. 3 were enough.

I have taken to getting the fillet things instead from the freezer section in Aldi. Think it is the same price either way, half a pack each but with less turning over required.
All rolled up in a wrap with some lettuce and home made tartare sauce with extra capers.

6 to go in the sandwich (overlap is good,) then the other one to dab in some chilli sauce whilst building.

Birdseye 99p mystery fish contain more fish than the more expensive pure cod fingers.
How many? 😕
All of them. 😀
