Fish Finger Torpedoes
These fish finger torpedoes are a brilliant British snack, ideal for a party or a quick bite. Crispy fish fingers are layered into a soft baguette with fresh lettuce, sliced shallot, and tangy gherkins, all bound together with a generous spread of mayonnaise. They are simple to assemble, making them a great project for children to help with. Ready in just 30 minutes, they offer a satisfying and tasty handheld meal.
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Once cooked, arrange the hot fish fingers inside the filled baguette. Slice the whole sandwich across into four individual portions to serve.
