fish finger

Frozen breaded stick

A fish finger is a small oblong piece of fish coated in breadcrumbs or batter, typically sold frozen and prepared by frying or baking.

The term is standard in British English; Americans call the same product a fish stick.

Fish fingers are a staple of children's meals and casual dining, often served with chips or in sandwiches.

We had fish fingers and mushy peas for tea.
