Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers : A potential treat!

Advantages: Good quality fish, no bones, no grey bits
Disadvantages: A little too dry, strongly flavoured, expensive

...I eat a lot more fish than I do meat, and am ever on the lookout for new and tasty products that I can feast on. Salmon isn't my favourite fish by any means, as I find the flavour of it a little too pungent, but as a new-ish product, Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers caught my eye in Sainsbury's deep freeze the other day - naturally a pack sort of jumped into my trolley! The pack is of very similar design to Birds Eye Cod Fish Fingers, except that the predominant colour is a salmon pink. The back of the box shows nutritional information, ingredients, dietary/allergy advice, storage/cooking instructions (oven bake or grill) and basic general dietary guidelines. I decided to oven bake a few, and have with jacket potato, peas and tomatoes. Inside the box, each fish finger is uniformly shaped, the same size as the cod variety...

Review of Birds Eye Salmon Fish Fingers

Get your omega 3, get a box of birds eye salmon fish fingers!

Advantages: Very delicious, great appearance, easy to prepare
Disadvantages: very processed and refined, a little expensive

...I'm not and never will be one of those people that purchase a lot of ready made and boxed foods. Although it seems the easier option when your too busy to cook a proper, healthy dinner, i always choose to ignore, easy microwavable meals. I suppose the shock horror stories and television documentaries that show these packet foods and what disgusting extra's they add doesn't exactly help or persuade me to purchase. But although I've never been a consumer of birds eye products, as i think their foods always look very processed and refined, the box of salmon fish fingers really caught my eye. I tried to resist the urge to shove it in to my shopping trolley, but the mouth watering picture on the front really didn't help matters. so eventually, i decided i would give it a try and see how it tasted. The price Shopping in my favorite...

Fish Fingers

Advantages: nutrtitious, tasty, versatile
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...I do not usually buy fish fingers but wanted to get some for my son to try so I purchased a pack of Bird s Eye Omega 3. I paid £1.69 for the box which contains 10 fish fingers made with 100% fish fillet (Alaska Pollock). I choose these particular ones as I wanted to give Jake the best quality I could buy in a supermarket. The Fish Fingers are really easy to cook, under the grill or in an oven for 12 ? 15 minutes, turning occasionally. The first time I tried them with Jake, I just cooked him one and four for me. While I was waiting for his fish finger to cool I made myself a fish finger buttie. It did not take long after biting into the fish finger to figure out that the fingers are not actually made from a whole fish fillet, but rather from chopped up fillet shaped into fingers. This was actually exactly what I expected so I...

Review of Birds Eye Fish Fingers

Fab fish fingers!

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I love fish fingers, but I'm pretty fussy about what I eat, and whilst with many products I'm happy to just go with the cheapest brand available, fish fingers for me are always Birdseye. Most cheap fish fingers tend to be made from the mysterious 'Minced White Fish' which has the texture of mashed up cardboard and tastes like licking a sweaty armpit. You're probably thinking I'm exaggerating there, after all, nobody makes a habit of licking armpits . Well, I did once while a little under the influence - and it was much nicer than a cheap fish finger! Okay, so now we know why I fixate on Birdseye - I know when the pack tells me it's cod fish fingers, its nothing but cod . However, recently I saw they were now offering a salmon version - and I figured I should definitely try them, since they were on offer at a pound a pack . Like...

Fabulous Fish

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I love fish fingers - and must confess to being somewhat fussy about them. Whereas with many other items, I'm happy to buy the shops own economy version - fish fingers for me HAVE to be Birdseye. This is mainly because many economy brands are made from the mysterious 'Minced White Fish', which tastes pretty disgusting, and leaves me concerned that I don't know exactly what's in the product. Birdseye have been advertising a lot lately- and it's all positive - food frozen within the hour, no additives, preservatives, colorings or e-numbers- which means I can be guaranteed that I, and more importantly my daughter, are eating good quality food. Birdseye fish fingers are made with 100 percent cod fillet - none of this random minced white fish business, and they come with two coating options - battered, or crumbed. While the crumbed...

Aye Aye Cap'n Birds Eye

Advantages: Tasty
Disadvantages: Processed

...Ah, fish fingers, where would we be without them? Down at the local chippy probably. Fish fingers are great though, aren't they? Generations of kids have grown up wolfing down these delicacies, gorging on low fat protein and omega 3 - eating healthy(ish) food without even realising it. and the great thing is they're totally sustainable - I mean, when did you last see a fish using fingers? But now Birds Eye Fish Fingers have grown up with the arrival of pink salmon fish fingers. Salmon is brilliant. Tasty, healthy and a nice colour. I love it. So without a second thought or a backward glance these babes were quickly dumped in the shopping trolley, transported to the kitchen, fried (cos they're better that way) and sandwiched between two slices of wholemeal. In case you're from Mars (Venus for girls) or even Neptune (see what I...

Birds Eye Got It Right!

Advantages: Delicious, widely available, quick, easy
Disadvantages: Slightly pricey

...Do you remember the days when your dinner consisted of "bits and bobs". Maybe this was a time when your mum was using up the odds and ends in the fridge, or maybe it was a time when you were a student and couldn't really cook to save yourself. But i'm sure everybody can remember at least one occasion when there meal consisted of things such as chips(usually a mixture of different varietys), onion rings, beans or spagetti hoops, and there was always that one thing that appeared...FISH FINGERS. Not any fish fingers though, oh boy no, the only fish fingers these could be are BIRDSEYE. I used to have fish fingers all the time, not kidding, at least two to three times a week, usually served up with chips or smiley potato faces and beans and spagetti. We used to have so many after school activites on and my mum was constantly looking...

Review of Birds Eye Fish Fingers

Golden sticks of yummy fish.

Advantages: Quick to cook, Healthy.
Disadvantages: Batter variety.

...Now what can you say about a fish finger?? There's so much to say I don't know where to start! A trusted box of 'Bird's Eye - Fish Fingers' is always to be found in our freezer. Even before my son came along and he was eating solids you would always find them. Why? well, Why not? They are quick to cook, healthy (providing you haven't deep fried them,) and kids as well as adults love them. When I buy a pack of Fish fingers, I will only buy the 'Birds Eye' ones as I have grown up with them, and know they are made from 100% fish fillet rather than chopped and processed like I've seen in other brands. The other thing that is important is that they have to be covered in breadcrumbs! My husband bought battered ones before and they are definitely not as good. To start with the batter goes soggy and can tastes greasy. They contain more...

Fishy fingers to Eye up!

Advantages: Tasty, easy to prepare, readily available.
Disadvantages: None, maybe the price

...Bird's Eye Cod Fish Fingers are a staple of our freezer. We tend to have fish once a week, usually a Friday. I like fish fingers, as does my husband and my son therefore they have become a regular Friday meal. For anyone who doesn't know what fish fingers look like they are rectangular shaped, coated in bread crumbs (you can get them coated in batter, but we prefer the breadcrumbs), they are a golden orange colour, when you break them open the inside is pure white cod. Fish Fingers can be found in the freezer aisle in most supermarkets, there are various brands but we prefer Bird's Eye. I cook my fish fingers in the grill, I have sometimes cooked them in the oven but it is usually the grill. The instructions on the packaging recommend that they are cooked for 15 minutes in a medium grill, turning occasionally. To oven cook this...

Review of Birds Eye Fish Fingers

But Fish Don't have fingers!

Advantages: Great way to eat more fish
Disadvantages: loose crumbs in the bottom of the grill pan

...When I was a mere whippersnapper our favourite meal of all time was fish fingers and chips and baked beans (Pronounced fishfingersandchipsandbakedbeans). Those fish fingers, of course, had to be Birds Eye, occasionally my mother tried to fob us off with lesser makes but the pester power of four kids (yes even all that time ago) forced her to reconsider. Even back then Birds Eye had a name for clean white cod with no nasty bits in , the other brands all seemed to have black and grey bits in and these were definitely not to our taste. So, what do you get with Birds Eye fish fingers? = The packaging is straightforward, they come in a box. no plastic wraps, no foil trays, nothing but a slim cardboard box that can be recycled. Inside you get white Cod covered with bread crumbs. We tend to...
