Birds Beasts Bugs And Fishes - Pete Seeger

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... Read review

...I'm not and never will be one of those people that purchase a lot of ready made and boxed foods.

The price Shopping in my favorite... Read review

...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... Read review
