A good read from one Felicity Cloake:

"But whether they are served with hot sauce or ketchup, fish fingers are still fish in its least-threatening form, which may explain why they haven't caught on to the same extent in countries less squeamish about seafood, such as Spain or France. They were introduced to the UK market in 1955 with the sales pitch: "No bones, no waste, no smell, no fuss." They were an immediate hit, selling 600 tonnes in the first year. These days, the figure is closer to 28,000 tonnes, and Birds Eye, which brought them to this country from the United States, claims that three-quarters of us get their first taste of fish from a fish finger."

It's the same way in the states. It's a brilliant way to get people to eat fish and a lot of kids grew up eating the stuff during the 60s and 70s.

I don't like messing around with those stinky, slimy, fishes either. OTOH, I suspect that we'll be eating more fish because it's cheaper. Last night I had salt-grilled saba broiled in a toaster oven. It was just a buck per piece. Hoo boy!

There was a competition in, I think, Punch, to describe a common or
garden dish in restaurantese. The best submission described fish fingers
as something like: "Strips of Arctic cod, lovingly coated in batter and
breadcrumbs etc, etc"

Fish fingers are an abomination unto the Lord. Ground up processed fish trimmings
lovingly smashed and trashed and coated with whatever is at hand.
Then they are heated until they are half-burned and then frozen and packaged.
Yuck!!!

This is true. They're also a brilliant way to get people to eat fish. The ways of the Lord is a mystery to us.

It figures that you think fish fingers can only be highly processed
cheap crap. They don't have to be, you know.

The fish in Birds Eye UK fish fingers, is 100% cod fillet.
The coating is breadcrumbs.

I served them to my grandchildren last week for their tea, baked in
the oven, with cheesy potato (some left over mashed potato, sprinkled
with grated cheddar and baked till golden); peas, and fresh tomatoes.

Doesnt sound too bad compared to the cheap and nasty ones out there.
I make my own fish fingers occasionally, usually from strips of salmon
fillet that I then coat in crumbs or good old panko.

Yum I have just returned from the dentist and haven't eaten much at
all in the past 24 hours, until just now - a cauliflower & cheese and
a chicken mornay pie... man, I was hungry!

Trident Ultimate fish sticks. Whole pollock filets with panko crumb

The thing is, if you put a put a fish on a plate and set that before a little kid, he's liable to start bawling. Put some fish sticks in front of the same kid and the outcome is certain - happy kid.

I don't remember ever buying or serving fish sticks, but when our son
was young he loved fish of any kind. When he balked at some foods I
would fib and tell him it was fish and he would eat it.

I'm wearing one now. A guy in my position has to. It's made of Kevlar.
For extra protection I also have a custom-made, carbon nano-tube, merkin
that's can withstand an acetylene torch flame for 20 seconds. I highly

It's not something that ever comes up in conversation but

On a somewhat related but very disturbing note. I was channel surfing
during commercial time last night. I clicked on TLC I think. It was
titled, "The man with an 80-pound groin." Oh man did I ever wish I
didn't see that. After watching a few minutes and determining that it
was a real medical show. I quickly switched to some other friendly
channel, saying la la la la all the time.

Anyway, the guy was arguing with his doctor who wanted to remove it.
Other doctors years ago told him that he could easily die on the
operating table so that's why he put it off so long.

Everybody knows that a cod piece is what some unsavory bottom-feeding shady fishes carry when they feel the need to pack some heat.

These days, the figure is closer to 28,000 tonnes, and Birds Eye, which brought them to this country from the United States, claims that three-quarters of us get their first taste of fish from a fish finger."
