fantastic fish finger buttie

main courses
As a chef I always feel I shouldn't be eating something like a fish finger buttie – but you know what, I think that makes it taste even better. Here's what I do...

I remove about 4 fish fingers from the freezer and grill them on each side until crispy and golden. While that's happening, I butter 2 bits of nice soft white bread or a white roll, smearing one half generously with tomato ketchup. When the fish fingers are done, I remove them from the grill and place them on the bread smeared with ketchup. The most important bit is to put the other bit of bread on top and, using a little force, push down on your buttie which, for some reason, seems to make it taste even better. And that's it – all done.

I tend to eat one of these while I'm walking about at home and I always get told off by the missus for dropping bits everywhere. You'll notice from the picture that I've put a handful of rocket in the sandwich, which isn't really necessary but it does make it look a bit more posh. I was a bit embarrassed to tell the photographer he had to shoot a fish finger sandwich, so I told him it was 'lemon sole goujons' – what a prat I am! Be proud to eat fish fingers, that's what I say.

1. Andrea Mon 14 Sep 2009 @ 22:21 The entire family loves fish fingers. Especially the feline family members who are not supposed to eat them...

This is one of the rare occasions, where my boyfriend actually cooks. Last time he got adventurous, put some cheese on top of the fish fingers and put this under the grill. Nice!
2. Aussie man Wed 01 Apr 2009 @ 01:47 Can anyone help us ozzies out.We used to have a 5* restaurant (kinda similar to a brit greasy cafe) here that used to do wicked toast but they lost the recipe and we cant find it anywhere on the internet.we`re tryning but the skewers mess the bread up and the barbie burns the crust before the middle`s done.

52. Jon and Sheryl Sat 13 Sep 2008 @ 01:35 Hi Jamie, We TiVo your show "Jamie at Home" and have loved every recipe we have tried (also, your cookbook recipes are always a hit). Unfortunately, we deleted an episode of your show that had shimp skewered and grilled for a short time, then finished off in a "throwaway" pan, with red bell peppers and other stuff. Can we possibly get that recipe from you? Or anyone else who may have it?

Also, we noticed no new episodes in the future. When are you coming back? We miss you!!
53. Penny Mon 08 Sep 2008 @ 20:54 Hi Jamie: I recently caught the last bit of a recipe on Food TV. The base looked like green beans and other julienned veggies with a vinagrette dressing, topped with scallops wrapped in bacon and pinned with rosemary stalks. Hope you can help me to find this recipe.

Love your food. Love your cookbooks. Love your shows. Thanks for all the great nosh!
54. Christina Sun 07 Sep 2008 @ 14:33 Hello Jamie, or anyone else, i am looking for a recipie with oily fish and either potatoes, rice or pasta.

Any ideas?
55. Anty Fri 05 Sep 2008 @ 21:39 If you change the tomato ketchup with tartar sauce and add some gherkins, it would be like Fillet O Fish at Mc Donald :-)
56. davepop Fri 05 Sep 2008 @ 11:30 Nice with sliced radish as well.
From the garden of course.
;o)
57. Cream Thu 04 Sep 2008 @ 05:27 Hi Jamie!
I would love to eat this one so will try to cook it to do so.
I love the fish burger rather than beef one but still like beef one too!
I always get the fish burger or fish sandwich when I feel like buttie of the day!

Thanks,
Cream:)
