I like to eat quintessential fish fingers as a crusty bread sandwich, with lemon juice, mayonnaise and salad. And I’m not the only one. Fish fingers are one of the most commonly bought fish products in the UK, with around 1.5 million eaten each day (that’s 18 fish fingers every second), according to manufacturer Birds Eye.
I have recently been working with a team of local community members, fishers, businesses and University of Plymouth researchers in the south-west of England to develop a new Plymouth fish finger that’s both healthy and sustainable.
