Feasters Fish Finger Sandwich: Ready in 50 seconds. Worth the wait...?



Name: Feasters Fish Finger Sandwich
Label: Made with 100% cod, no hydrogenated fat, microwave in 50 seconds
Cost: £1.60

Feasters are a company who make microwaveable products that are ready to have within minutes of cooking. I have all praise for the spicy chicken burgers they do, they tick all the right boxes with quality meat and light strength to accommodate the casual spice strength preferring consumer.

So how much does the fish finger counterpart live up to the chicken deal? Well...

The barm cake was chewy and tough, and had a lot of flour sprinkled on it. The fish fingers were really soft and mushy with no backbone.

I get the incline that the fish fingers they use are watered down a lot. They were rather potent when they were in the microwave being cooked, but taste wise they didn't exactly rock my world. They lack paticular quality, not even as consistent as Tesco's own fish fingers.

This may be because the fat in a product makes it taste better, so if you are fussy about products having certain fats, then this product may be for you with its 'no hydrogenated fat' claim.

However, for the price you might as well buy some barm cakes (6 for a pound or whatever deals they have) and some fish fingers separately and make this yourself, since you'll save a lot of money and you'll probably even prefer them made by yourself.

Overall if you're looking for a quick snack then you may want to give this a trial and see what you make of it. But I recommend you buy the ingredients separately and conjure up the end product yourself if you have the time. The end result would be worth it.

  1. Yeah, looks like a bit of a ripoff TBH. You can buy a full pack of fish fingers and a 6-pack of barm cakes for that price, and probably still have enough left over for some mayonnaise.
