Swap It Out: Gluten Free Weekly Dupes – Birds Eye Fish Fingers

Introduction

Fish🐟 fingers were always a favourite when I was a kid. Even today, they remain one of the best dishes🍽️ when you want something quick and easy to cook, whether for yourself or your kids.

Over the years, they’ve become healthier with added omega 3, which isn’t surprising. What is surprising, though, is that Birds Eye offers a gluten free version that you can find in pretty much every supermarket🛒.

Why Choose Gluten Free Fish Fingers?

  • Safe for people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance
  • Quick and convenient for family dinners
  • A nostalgic treat for both kids and adults

Birds Eye Gluten-Free Fish Fingers Review

Taste & Texture

I’ve got to be honest, it’s been so long since I had the non gluten free version that I can’t remember if there’s any difference. But these are still totally delicious! They go perfectly with a side order of chips🍟 and a generous squirt of tomato🍅 ketchup.

What sets these apart is the fact that they are made with pollock rather than traditional cod, but they’re still incredibly tasty.

Ingredients

  • Made with pollock instead of cod
  • Gluten free breadcrumb coating
  • Coeliac-safe and labelled gluten-free

Price Comparison

The real surprise, though, is the price💰these are either the same or cheaper than the non-gluten-free versions, which is practically a miracle in the gluten free world🌍.

UPDATE – Prices have gone up a little recently as with everything else.

Where to Buy Birds Eye Gluten Free Fish Fingers

You’ll find them in most UK supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, and Morrisons. Some online grocery delivery services also stock them.

Serving Suggestions

  • Classic: with chips and ketchup
  • Sandwich: squashed into buttered gluten free bread with mayo
  • Family dinner: alongside peas and mash for a midweek meal

Final Verdict

Birds Eye gluten free fish fingers are a strong contender for anyone looking for a coeliac-friendly dupe of the childhood favourite. Crispy, tasty, and widely available.
