Kananga Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 I've been looking high and low for fishfingers, preferably Birdseye and can't find them anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
rkidlad Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 If anywhere, it would be Villa, Foodland or a fancy tops in Sukhumvit. I think some Tops' stores have lots of 'Waitrose' products. You'll probably be quite likely to find Waitrose's version of fishfingers. Peace out.
glbv Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Tops suk19 has bags and bags of them in their little frozen area.

samsiam Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 A mob in Buriram make them...or repackage them. 70b for 5.....no idea if that is expensive or not...I would think it is....but they tasty
CharlieH Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Topps have Waitrose, pricey but nice food. Other stuff you may like here: http://www.buntersfoodsbkk.com/order.html 1

josephbloggs Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Tops Thonglor, Villa Thonglor. Both definitely have them. Not cheap, but they are "proper" fish fingers.
smokie36 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Pointless unless you can source Heinz baked beans and McCain oven chips as well. 1

Why on earth would you think my Mother would be cooking them for me? Did they suddenly install the internet in mental institutions or something? To everyone else with their suggestions, thank you. PS I have found the heinz baked beans already http://www.thaivisa....35-baked-beans/ and yes I do heat them up myself as well... 1

Get a grip man!
xen Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Carefour / Big C has their own brand in their Rama 4 Branch and i persume other branches altho this store does seems to have a few more "farung" type items. I did not like them at all and i am only giving this information because some people may have adapted to that strong Thai style Catfish and flour favour (even tho they may have been imported from France). Horrible things they were . Why not make your own, With some experimentation and imagination i am sure you could come up with a reasonable type of fish finger .

Get a grip man! Get a grip on what? Its not my fault you have decided to live by some some bizarre unwritten code restricting yourself from certain food when you reach a specific age and repeatedly post on an internet forum about it. Perhaps it is you that needs to 'get a grip'. Its very odd behaviour. Is your life really that dull?

I have been slicing fillets of 'DORY'.dipped in flour and then batter....very nice. 2 Large 'DORY' fillets at arround 110 baht gives me about 16 large 'fingers'...much cheaper then the imported ones 2

At least until cod has been fished out of existence. Then I'll probably move onto haddock.
Pseudolus Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Confirm they are in Tops Rama 9 central. They have two types; Waitrose and what seems to be a local variety. 1

At least until cod has been fished out of existence. Then I'll probably move onto haddock. I agree that Cod and Haddock would be better...but both of these fish ,all frozen of course for many months,I have found to be a bit tasteless and quite firm,if not hard..certainly not the moist fish like back home.Even the Waitrose packs dont have the moistness I would expect...and when I see the packs of frozen fish in Macro they look more like planks of wood. I did import some frozen smoked haddock fillets from UK...delicious...but bloody expensive. 12 fillets cost me 142 GBP !!...but at least the fish was moist.
cooked Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I have noticed on other forums that people suddenly get very aggressive when you suggest that the food they got used to eating as a child was maybe not all that good or healthy. (hence my remark about apron strings). One guy said that the bread he found locally was just as good as English bread. I wrote back to say that there were two mysteries about English bread, 1. Why do people eat it and 2. Why it it called bread? The onslaught commenced. I eat fish fingers now and again, also 'bread' but I don't try to live solely on Western food. In fact the only thing I miss about English cuisine is good fish and chips (and I think most people in England have never eaten good fish and chips) eaten out of a newspaper with a glass of Guiness. You can find both on Sukhumvit if you are in dire need, though of varying quality.

You eat fish fingers now and again, yet when I asked where to obtain food which you admit you eat now and again you tell me to "learn to cook for myself and unpin mummy's apron strings", even though you eat them yourself. When I reply telling you I do cook them myself you reply with saying I got agressive because you suggested that they were not healthy. First of all I didnt get agressive I was being sarcastic, and secondly you didnt mention anything about the health factor of eating fish fingers. So you are accusing me of being agressive about a comment you never made regarding a food product that you yourself eat? Dont you think that is just a little bit bizarre? 2
chinook Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Try local chav store in England. Obviously I'm not in England. Who on earth let you loose with a passport? says the man who doesn't like Ayam baked beans 'cuz they're "the wrong size"

PattayaPhom Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Pointless unless you can source Heinz baked beans and McCain oven chips as well. Makro sell Heinz beans at 83 Baht for a big tin..not a bad price....home cut chips are better than Mccans so got a great dinner available

I'll be popping down there to stock up thank you! Agree about oven chips. Pikey fodder.
