The Humble Fish Finger Sandwich

[champion7]

I prefer mine with a touch of Garlic mayo TBH.

Yes shocking, mark up.

A single finger from a packet of ten middle of the range with a named fish (e.g. Haddock) will set you back about 20 pence. You could therefore knock together a gourmet sandwich, with even a bit of salad for less than a quid at home. I would imagine the economies of scale dictate that a gastro pub fish finger sarnie is less than that.

Has anyone contacted Watchdog ?

Other:

Any combination of:

1-2 fat chips
Ketchup
Peas
Beans

Mush together with a fork, apply to two well-buttered slices of 100% white bread (eaten separately i.e. each slice folded over filling to make two mini-butties)

There is currently a very good programme being aired on BBC Three - Britain's Most Disgusting 3/3 FISH, which was very scathing of the little fish finger. Now moved onto the Bluefin Tunafish.

As a Cheshire Chap whenever I constructed one of these beauties in my student days it also involved chips.

I seem to recall it went like this:

White bread liberally spread with butter, dozen or so chips/fish finger/another dozen or so chips/fish finger/a final dozen chips all sprinkled with salt & vinegar, slapped on a further slab of buttered white bread, final touch was to crush the slices of bread together gently in your hands until the melted butter oozed out.

An oop north thing to have Chips with everything?

Bloody lovely though.......

I hate food snobbery when applied to something that although very popular is very very good.

Tomato Ketchup is a fantastic addition to anything in breadcrumbs and fish is no exception.

I don't like batter very much, but am always cooking fish in breadcrumbs.

Panko flakes ?

Yep, quite easy to get these days and cheap. Basically the Japanese love the idea of using breadcrumbs, but don't have the bread culture we have in the West.

So like they often do, they went about trying to produce the perfect breadcrumbs and they cracked it.

They bake a form of very hard bread using a special process that is then shaved into hard slivers which look more like desicated coconut than bread.

They also contain a small amount of honey/sugar which leaves the finished fried whatever golden, but in a completely natural way as opposed that bi-product of the nuclear fuel industry you get in supermarkets.

They don't contain any spices and won't give a Japanese twist to fish, but they are simply the daddy of all breadcrumbs.

I'm surprised the major supermarkets haven't started selling them, although you can get them in any Chinese supermarket (which will sell all sorts of non Chinese bits and pieces)

Look at those prawns on the packet. That's exactly the sort of finish you will get, imagine one of those dipped in mixture of mayonnaise and tomato ketchup, or salad cream.

Lovely. I get a big piece of Cod, cut it into fingers, flour them, dip them in egg and slap on the Panko and always have a bowl of tomato ketchup to dip them in.

Tomato ketchup with fish?

Most disdainful vulgarity.

I think i've worked you out TLO. You're a food and drink toff.

Any who. I think a bit of ratrat with fish and finger sandwiches is the best combination. Ketchup works well but not in huge proportions, a light smearing is the way to go.

My dad used to call fish and finger sandwiches "hot cats" which used to amuse me greatly when i was 7.
