What comes with the Fish Finger Sandwich
- 01
Breaded cod fish fingers
Thick cod fish fingers bring a crisp breaded coating that contrasts with the soft bread around them.
- 02
White or malted bread
Soft slices of white or malted bread hold the generous fish filling and provide a gentler texture than the crisp coating.
- 03
Tartare sauce
Sharp, tangy tartare sauce cuts through the richness of the breaded fish and adds contrast to each mouthful.
What the Fish Finger Sandwich is like
The fish finger sandwich is built around the contrast between crisp breaded cod and soft sliced bread. Thick fish fingers give the filling substance, while the bread keeps the texture softer around the edges. White or malted bread is listed, so check which option your pub can serve. The generous layering makes the fish the centre of the sandwich rather than a minor filling.
Tartare sauce supplies the sharpness that balances the richness of the breaded coating. Its tang gives the sandwich a more savoury edge without changing its familiar, comforting character. This is a straightforward lunch choice for someone who wants crunchy fish in bread rather than a plated fish dish.
Fish Friday pricing on Fridays
Is the Fish Finger Sandwich good value?
The sandwich is worth considering if you want breaded cod in a familiar lunch format at a typical £6.49. It is the third lowest priced of the 7 items we track in this section in the fish dishes section, though each pub sets its own prices.
Compare it with Freshly Battered Cod and Chips if you want a fish-and-chips format, or Small Battered Cod and Chips if you are considering a smaller version of that dish. Whitby Breaded Scampi offers another breaded seafood option. Before judging the sandwich's overall value, check whether any side or drink is included rather than assuming the typical price covers extras.
Fish Finger Sandwich calories and nutrition
As listed, before any extra sides, sauces or drinks.
The listed energy figure is 780 kcal, equivalent to about 39% of the 2,000 kcal daily reference intake. Within the fish dishes section, it is the lowest calorie of the 3 items we track in this section, which helps place it alongside the other dishes tracked here.
Use that figure as the starting point for your order, not the total for everything you might add. A separate side, extra sauce or a drink can change the meal's energy total. Check the information for each addition, and confirm what the pub includes with the sandwich before comparing it with another meal.

Recipes and suppliers change, and kitchens handle all 14 major allergens. Always tell staff about an allergy and check the official allergen information before ordering. No dish can be guaranteed allergen free.
The fish finger sandwich contains fish, so it is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets. No dietary tags are recorded in our data. The listed allergens are cereals containing gluten, eggs and fish.
Anyone avoiding these allergens should check the pub's current allergen information before ordering. A change of bread, removal of sauce or another requested swap can change the allergen profile, but it does not establish that the resulting meal is suitable. Ask staff about the full order, including any separately ordered sides.
When to order the Fish Finger Sandwich
A familiar lunch
Choose this for a straightforward pub lunch built around familiar flavours. Breaded cod, soft bread and tartare sauce offer a sandwich format rather than a plated fish dish.
Fans of crisp textures
The contrast between crunchy breaded fish and soft slices of bread is the main attraction. It suits diners who enjoy texture as much as the sharpness of tartare sauce.
An afternoon sandwich
Consider it for a casual afternoon snack when a fish sandwich appeals. The source description suggests a hot cup of tea alongside it, rather than an elaborate set of extras.
What to order with the Fish Finger Sandwich
Bowl of Chips
£3.49A separately ordered bowl of chips suits diners who want chips alongside their fish sandwich. Check the combined price and energy total before adding it.
Side Salad
£1.99A side salad is an alternative accompaniment if you would rather add salad than another bread-based side. Confirm its current contents and dressing with the pub.
Mini Warm Chocolate Brownie
£3.29The Mini Warm Chocolate Brownie offers a sweet finish after the savoury fish and tangy sauce, if you want to follow the sandwich with dessert.
Tips for ordering the Fish Finger Sandwich
Ask which bread is available before ordering, as the description lists white or malted slices rather than a single fixed bread choice.
Check whether a side is included with the sandwich before adding a bowl of chips, so you know exactly what your order covers.
Confirm the price at your chosen pub, particularly on Fridays when Fish Friday pricing is noted for this dish.
If you need an ingredient removed or changed, discuss the request and current allergen information with staff rather than relying on the description alone.
