Hey Gareth, these are really great videos for normal people on normal budgets mate. Thanks so much for what you do. Great stuff keep it up bro. You are a proper role model mate. Your family should be well proud of you. Cheers. Andy
Fish fingers taste better than caviar anyway. I tried it once when it was on special offer. It tasted a bit like slightly salty water with a slight tang of seaweed. The texture wasn't great either. Jellied eels are a bit similar but with a stronger taste of salt & an even worse texture. Not worth bothering with. They may have been good nutrionally mind you but then so is tinned or smoked mackeral & that is not half so expensive. Could you do a comparison of tinned mackeral in tomato sauce? Personally I think the Morrisons one tastes better than the John West. I have it with salad & a bit of salad cream, which makes a quick & tasty lunch.
Hi BFG: I really enjoy your comparisons videos. I think they are very useful for people on a low budget (like me) and let the public know how to choose best quality products according to what they have to pay. Keep it up!!!
If you are doing big brand / own brand comparisons, particularly of fish or meat products, please give us a quick shot of the complete packages from all sides. At 7:15 (Asda) and 8:20 (Morrison’s) there were little ovals saying GB GG270. This tells us they both came out of the same factory, but we never saw those codes for Aldi or Birds Eye.
You are by far the best food reviewer that I have ever seen,and pig that I am I've watched hundreds.I was sat watching your sausage review with my boys ( four French bulldogs) and we were concentrating on your face whilst you ate lol.Needless to say your recommended sausages are in my shopping cart.God Bless you for making these videos you are an absolute pleasure to watch love and best wishes from my boys and I.
Thanks for these videos. Useful comparisons, and you helpfully show the ingredients. This saves me from having to get the specs out to read them in the shop. I didn't finish watching this one, because after 8 minutes, you had shown that all of them contain potato starch, which I can't eat. So thank you for eliminating all these fish fingers from my menu!
If you want omega 3 eat mackerel, not white fish which has a fraction of long chain fatty acids as oily fish, but they put lies on the box so you purchase. The colour of the fish finger is from an added dye food colourant and adds no flavour. Love a fish finger butty with loads of butter and ketchup. Great vids for folk that aren't on a politician's money !

They do Haddock which are cheaper but the COD is definitely AWESOME.. with a butty and NO you don't need SAUCE!! 👍
Loved the way you said, "If you're absolutely loaded go for the dearer brands" If I was 'absolutely loaded' I wouldn't eat fish fingers at all, I'd eat fresh wild caught Scottish Salmon. Love the programs, keep them coming.
Fish fingers were manufactured for kids since once upon a time were scared to eat fish because of the bones and also the size of the fish fingers were designed for "child size potions.
Love these comparison videos ! I'm feeling off colour today so working my way through your playlists ! Great videos and lives , I'm new only been watching a week and addicted ! Missing all my TV programmes watching these videos instead! 😆😆
Well I like this sort of content. It's good to see comparisons and taste tests of ordinary foods, although not something I ever thought I would say lol Thank you.
Hi Gareth....i been away so got loads to catch up on lol....loved this review....as a kid fish fingers, chips and beans was my fave dinner...we'd normally have it on a Saturday evening....sometimes with mash potato instead of chips...Mum always used to make her own chips too...deep fried in lard....can't beat home made chips...i do my own too but in oil!! I think the Birdseye ones were disappointing....price, weight, less fish...they should be ashamed lol!!!...i usually buy Morrison's one...will have to give the Asda ones a go too ! Excellent review :-)
I like cod and haddock but try to buy pollock when I can as it's a reasonably palatable fish. Selecting Pollock is supposed to take the strain off cod and haddock stocks.
@@sarahstrong7174 Supply and demand. The market values haddock as a premium fish compared to pollock. You pay your money and take your pick. I much prefer haddock for flavour and texture.
Thanks for that. It helps a lot if us. And I thought you said the birdeye one what lighter. 24 as the other were 26. And that's why I do not buy them anymore. I knows it's not a lot. But you have proved to me I was right in thinking they were smaller. Thanks again.
So difficult to compare when the weights are different. I decided to work out the price per 100grams and it comes out as follows:- Aldi 31p; Morrisons 58p; Asda 73p & Birds Eye 89p. Wish Aldi was a 10 pack then you would get a better comparison of fish texture and taste i.e. more fish in each finger.
This is what many fish processing companies DON'T want the consumers to know. 👀As a Cornishman growing up on a farm in Cornwall (UK) ON the COAST, we regularly caught Mackerel, Herring, Sea Bass, et et 👀My mom regularly made Pilchard fish CAKES.. (cheap and filling) which were the best EVER and we still, to the same recipe make them today.. with a salad.. summer AWESOME! 👍 Fish fingers sell because kids are hooked on them IF the parents let them.. home made fish cakes can be fun with kids to make FRESH and soooo much cheaper!
Hi Gaz. Great video yet again. Nothing wrong with Pollock or Pollack depending on which end of the country you live - both spellings are correct though. I much prefer its flavour and texture to that of Cod or Haddock any day. We have only been pushed towards Cod and Haddock because it is what we have come to expect from the chippy who rarely stock Pollock. One of my favourite snacks at any time of the day from breakfast through to supper is 3 fish fingers in a lightly toasted and buttered nice soft bread roll (I usually get the pre sliced ones by Warburtons) with a splash of tomato ketchup on one side and a good dollop of tartare sauce in the other.
I love a Fish Finger and Tartare Sauce sandwich! Birds Eye Chunky Fish Fingers are pretty good too. Thanks for the review Gareth, all the best to you :)
Hi Gareth I used to buy Asda pollock, cod & haddock. Vary what I ate. Taste I prefer haddock then cod then pollock. Asda seem to have stopped doing haddock prob due to price rise. The good thing about all the Asda fish fingers (& they do not recommend this) is you can microwave them 7.5min & they are ready & tasty. All the other brands suffer badly from the micro. Drying up. My freezer has conked & I have not got round to replacing it yet. So not so much frozen food on the menu. Though a ten pack will keep a few days in the fridge. I live up 4 flights of stairs. What a job it was disposing of it.(freezer) Your comparisons are good. Cheers Bob.
Hey Gareth, had similar past to your self mate, wachted all your video's not only loads of information but really entertaining I love the videos keep them up mate, what a guy.
I'm not a fan of hash browns but having been a breakfast chef i've used different ones and they vary alot. All i can say is don't buy the co-op ones they're cheap and nasty .. in fact best not buy anything at the co-op at all. The better hash browns i found are generally the larger ones as they cook more evenly so they're crispy outside and soft inside.
I tried the Birds Eye Alaskan Pollock fish fingers when Tesco had them on a Club Card price of £1 for 10 (well worth a gamble at that price) and loved them. I'll have to give the Aldi ones a go.
really enjoy your videos mate, and Im a poncy southerner! Love your accent as well, having just had a few days up near Durham. Anyway enough of the waffle, you cant beat a fish finger sandwich with ketchup - how common lol
Now that was one amazing review gareth it's my heaven I've said I don't really do fish apart from haddock and cod but I do love fish fingers and fish cakes so this review was top draw I've not tried any of the supermarket brands so I can't comment on them but I always go for birds eye or youngs because it's always stated haddock or cod not fish??? Brilliant review I would have been in heaven with you in your kitchen chips in fish fingers in red sauce on and beer in 👍👍👍👍👍👍🍅🍅🍿🍿🐟🐟
Hey hey big fella loving the content as per...but you do make me chuckle..in a good way of course. Bitta betta light..priceless...but me old mucker..all that shopping for the comparison four haddock and one pollock..... ???keep up the good work only messing..x
Just catching up on your videos. We like the Aldi ones because we do fish finger burgers. Add some tartar sauce. Plenty of fish fish fingers in each burger! Lovely
I managed to scan the barcodes on the Morrison’s and Bird’s Eye packets, and both scored 84 out of 100 (excellent) on the Yuka Food and Cosmetic Scanner (the App with the carrot 🥕 on). Unfortunately I couldn’t see the barcodes on the other packets. Thought you might be interested to know about the App. My friend told me about it a couple of days ago. 🤗
Yeh, noticed that with a few things, crisps etc, I remember an Asda employee telling me once they had a delivery of some bread product and they sent them with Tescos label instead of Asda
I wouldn't buy the Aldi ones as I don't like Pollock or Basa. I usually buy the Birds Eye ones. Looking at them the Asda and the Morrisons ones look better. It's very rare I go to Asda or Morrisons but if I did I would definitely try them. Unfortunately I won't be able to watch your live blog next Friday, so hope you have a good night. Merry Xmas to you and your family and I hope Santa comes
Family is gonna be eating fish fingers for a wee bit. Great comparative review. We need these kinds of instant help guides. And you're gonna have to get the good wife to blind you to what you are eating so that this is a rigorously controlled taste test 🧐🤣
Love watching these videos they are so relaxing Not sure if you have done any hotdogs comparison videos yet I only thought about them as Alexa was playing The King of Rock ’n’ Roll Song by Prefab Sprout While I was making some oveltine Hot chocolate in the kitchen lol 😂😂
Hiya Gareth! There’s nothing like a fish finger and on a sandwich. I bought some chunky cod fish fingers from Tesco from the fresh fridges section. Get 6 for £2.50. Yes it’s expensive but boy were they good with some home fries and baked beans. Definitely quality chunky cod fish fingers. Gonna get some more if I can. Never tried haddock fish fingers before. Intrigued to try some. Can recommend jumbo birds chunky fish fingers which come in either batter or breadcrumbs. Enjoy 😋😋😋
Love the comparisons between Asda and Morrisons. As a previous employee of a chicken company I know that smart price Asda and Morrisons are made in the same factory the only difference between the two is the packaging and sticker placement on the Morrisons had to be centre costs a few quid more for the privilege
Most things are made in the same factory doesn't make them the same product . As recipes and ingredients are different . As supermarkets go to so called factory and say to them we wanna sell a 6 bag of crisps for 58p say and they say yeah . And Wat you get is smaller crisps in the packet like broken up pieces they use lower grade potatoes , lower grade flavourings . Things have always got to be cheaper for reason got to cut cost somewhere and to do that it's the ingredients . Same if your buy cheap soft drinks like lemonade the cheaper ones taste like fizzy water. You can take car tyres as a expamle you get budget and mid range And premium. Now the budget tyres are prob made by the same company that makes Goodyear or Avon . But the quality not the same as they don't last as long and don't get same grip and that
@@clinteastwood8230 my comment was based from working in that factory knowing the whole procedure. It might not be all products but this product was the exact same thing just in a more expensive piece of plastic with a perfectly aligned sticker
Re the Bird's Eye sourcing info. I think the scannable code allows for different fishing grounds for different batches. The "north-east Atlantic" is a lot of ocean, and I think the BE code lets them narrow down the particular area. It's like UK meat, where they say they can track it back to a particular farm. If you were able to scan your pack then get another one next week, the chances are they'd be different batches and the scans would be different.
We always buy the aldi once there nice , i dont think you cooked them long enough for me that's why the aldi coating was a bit sloppier like you said ,😀
Hey Gareth, these are really great videos for normal people on normal budgets mate. Thanks so much for what you do. Great stuff keep it up bro. You are a proper role model mate. Your family should be well proud of you. Cheers. Andy

Loved the way you said, "If you're absolutely loaded go for the dearer brands" If I was 'absolutely loaded' I wouldn't eat fish fingers at all, I'd eat fresh wild caught Scottish Salmon. Love the programs, keep them coming.
Fish fingers were manufactured for kids since once upon a time were scared to eat fish because of the bones and also the size of the fish fingers were designed for "child size potions.
So what are you eating then.
Just fun.
I must be a right pleb, I really don't like wild Scottish salmon at all but I love fish fingers.
Sometimes you just want fish fingers. Come to think of it, who eats something just because it's cheap?

Hiya Gareth! There’s nothing like a fish finger and on a sandwich. I bought some chunky cod fish fingers from Tesco from the fresh fridges section.
Get 6 for £2.50. Yes it’s expensive but boy were they good with some home fries and baked beans. Definitely quality chunky cod fish fingers. Gonna get some more if I can. Never tried haddock fish fingers before. Intrigued to try some. Can recommend jumbo birds chunky fish fingers which come in either batter or breadcrumbs. Enjoy 😋😋😋
Cheers Sara, hope your well, all the best, Gareth 👍👍
Love the comparisons between Asda and Morrisons. As a previous employee of a chicken company I know that smart price Asda and Morrisons are made in the same factory the only difference between the two is the packaging and sticker placement on the Morrisons had to be centre costs a few quid more for the privilege
Most things are made in the same factory doesn't make them the same product . As recipes and ingredients are different . As supermarkets go to so called factory and say to them we wanna sell a 6 bag of crisps for 58p say and they say yeah . And Wat you get is smaller crisps in the packet like broken up pieces they use lower grade potatoes , lower grade flavourings . Things have always got to be cheaper for reason got to cut cost somewhere and to do that it's the ingredients . Same if your buy cheap soft drinks like lemonade the cheaper ones taste like fizzy water. You can take car tyres as a expamle you get budget and mid range And premium. Now the budget tyres are prob made by the same company that makes Goodyear or Avon . But the quality not the same as they don't last as long and don't get same grip and that
@@clinteastwood8230 my comment was based from working in that factory knowing the whole procedure. It might not be all products but this product was the exact same thing just in a more expensive piece of plastic with a perfectly aligned sticker
great videos pal.
cheers
Thankyou for an interesting video.
Your welcome
I’ve never tried the birds eye but it looks good value for money. Had the Asda’s one a few weeks back still has that nice crispy crumb.
Cheers
Must admit I love a crispy fish finger Gareth 😂 liked the comparison mate and I do get mine from Asda. Keep up da vids, love them👍
Cheers Robbie, I will, all the best
Great video. I've tried them all and it's Morrisons followed by Asda for me. Why do they never say Pollock fillet??
Thank you, yes we all have different tastes it's a close call to be fair, thank you
Excellent review, perhaps a screenshot of a spreadsheet with the unit cost and subjective taste rating
Good idea!

Re the Bird's Eye sourcing info.
I think the scannable code allows for different fishing grounds for different batches.
The "north-east Atlantic" is a lot of ocean, and I think the BE code lets them narrow down the particular area.
It's like UK meat, where they say they can track it back to a particular farm.
If you were able to scan your pack then get another one next week, the chances are they'd be different batches and the scans would be different.
Cheers Mac thank you
Great vid Gar x
Thank you 😍👍
Sourced in mid Atlantic cos that's where the fish live!one for the team eating COLD fish fingers!
Guilty pleasure of mine Fishfingers and marmite in toast... Don''t knock it until you tried it LOL.
Haha absolutely 💯
We always buy the aldi once there nice , i dont think you cooked them long enough for me that's why the aldi coating was a bit sloppier like you said ,😀
