What are the best and most economical fish fingers?
Seems like most are now made with fish mash not fillets. Any recommendations?
Are the Birds Eye fish fingers still good?
Thanks

So are you licking the gyno's fingers?
I've been stocking up on Jamie Oliver's fish fingers, which at my local Woolworths store are being run out at half price. $2.60 for 300g. No fish mash. Actual Alaskan pollock fillets. 65% fish. Made in Germany.
Looks like this line didn't sell well, which is a pity,
I found them really soft crumb that stuck in the airfryer.
I think the question should be "What are the least worst fish fingers?"
head to your local fish and chip shop, most have fish cocktails which are usually fish fillets
i usually get them and freeze them
place in air fryer to cook

They are Fish Fingers.
So how are fillets of fish made into consistent rectangular shape if they are not mashed? If it was done with fillets then there would be a HUGE amount of waste and the cost would be more than frozen fillets of fish, which is not the case.
The fish is center cut, with the off cuts being mashed into secondary class fish fingers. I have seen fillet fish fingers (see my post above), but they are rare.
Years ago Birds Eye fish fingers actually stated they were made with fillets. They don’t do that any more.
Unless it’s changed it’s not mashed.
Fish fillets are packed into large rectangular trays, packed so no space, frozen solid then cut into shape while still frozen giving the regular shape
i buy 1 kilo of birdseye, they are good enough for me and i am fussy/ Good value. I have them with deli chips and salad, at least tomato or cucumber
They are great to make fish burgers.
Or salad and fish finger wraps for an easy weekday lunch dinner.
i am fussy too,
but I'd rather go without
I might just stick to the Birds Eye then, made in Oz at least with some significant local content.
I try to avoid Chinese frozen food products, the Aldi FF are from China and who knows what’s in them.
Coles and Woolworths generic fish fingers fully made in China. Aldi's $6/kg fish fingers are packed in Australia from 40% Australian ingredients. The fish is either Alaskan Pollock or Hoki.
I seem to remember the Aldi FF I looked at were made entirely in China. Maybe I am mistaken.
Will check them out,
Aldi's cheap 1kg boxes are Australian packed/partially Australian ingredients. The more expensive crumbed fillets are almost always from China.
Kid swears by Birds Eye Oven Bake Crumbed Wild Caught Fish Fillets. Only get when half price. $5 for 6. One is equivalent of 2-3 normal fish fingers.
I'm really disappointed by these. I used to get them heaps years ago and opened one recently to find that they shrunk significantly. The box used to have 6 tightly packed and now there's room for at least 8 of those tiny bastards.
Birds eye whiting fish fingers (around $20/kg)
Local fish monger daily specials 12/kg cut and crumb as desired.
I seriously haven't been able to even look at a fish finger since going to a Catholic high school - (SETTLE!) - tuckshop on Fridays during Lent sold fish finger rolls. They had to be the cheapest fish fingers, deep fried in the cheapest oil, put on cheap breadrolls that had been slathered with cheap margarine. And then to add insult to injury, cheap tomato sauce…
The fish fingers appeared to be made out of polystyrene.
that tuckshop lunch sounds exactly like what im craving right now haha. cheap and all
NOOOOOOooooooo - it was so awful! The smell!
Up to you - your own individual choice, based on taste, appearance and cost. There is no world best anything for everyone.
If you want fish fillets not mash buy the Birds Eye Oven Bake fish fillets. They are regularly half price at Woolworths which makes them cheaper than fish fingers. After cooking in the oven I chop them into fish finger size strips and put them in a sandwich.
I find them a bit oily with too much batter.
Taste alright though.
