Fish Finger Torpedoes

Ingredients

  • 300g pack fish fingers (preferably made with hoki rather than cod)
  • 1 French stick (baguette)
  • 4 or 5 generous tbsp mayonnaise
  • 5 lettuce leaves such as cos, halved lengthways
  • 1 large shallot or small ordinary or red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 dill cucumber or 4 gherkins, thinly sliced on the diagonal

Method

  1. Preheat the grill and place the fish fingers on the grill rack. Cook them for 15 minutes, turning at least once, until the coating is crisp.
  2. Slice the French stick lengthways and open it up. Apply a liberal amount of mayonnaise to the bread, then layer in the lettuce, sliced shallot or onion, and the dill cucumber or gherkin slices.
  3. Once cooked, arrange the hot fish fingers inside the filled baguette. Slice the whole sandwich across into four individual portions to serve.
