    For anyone that didn’t know, Tesco Everyday Value has been rebranded to Hearty Food Co.

    Tesco "Value" brand went in 2012 replaced with "everyday Value" which was then phased out from 2018 some 5 years ago.

    Loads of products on the 5 for 4 on frozen, cheapest is free. Better to stick to 5 of one product then you know what you're getting

    Don't worry - you can find out what you're getting just by looking at the box... that will tell you what's inside.

    This is awful, instead of fish fillets sliced into long finger strips they minced it

    They're usually 75p.. not sure what you're gonna expect from that. I get these and they're pretty nice as a fish butty.

    Daughter actually prefers these, agree these aren't the best quality fish fingers in comparison to others. Just need to remember to take it in context of other foods at the same price, though, for families struggling to pay for rising food costs this is still a far healthier option for the price than going for something else.

    Fair point, people in glass houses probably don’t realise that budget items maybe the difference between being able to eat or not.

    I don’t like these fish fingers, but I’ll count my blessings others have the opportunity to choose how to eat tonight. (edited)

    Absolutely vile. Smell like gone off fish when you cook them. I eat anything usually but these shouldn't even be eaten by animals.

    That said my local Tesco seems to leave all the frozen food on cages in the aisle to the point it's defrosting onto the floor so possibly it smells bad for the same reason the ice creams are deformed. (edited)

    In my experience minced Cod is not very nice to eat.
    Aldi Fish Fingers are much better in my opinion.

    Why does cod mince make you vomit? Texture isn't as nice as fillet, but vomit...?

    Absolutely nothing wrong with these. Park these up beside Birdseye and there's not a massive difference.

    For all you Birdseye lovers, please note that both these Tesco value fish fingers and Birdseye fish fingers have the same list of ingredients (cod, breadcrumbs, oil, salt, paprika) but the Tesco ones are 64% cod whilst Birdseye are 58%

    If you prefer Birdseye fish fingers it might just be that you don't really like fish

    I used to buy Bird's Eye Cod 30 pack but the price now is £7.75, which is too expensive for me. Aldi cod ones are okay but they've gone up to £2.25 for 10. Tried these Hearty co ones from Tesco to save money and they're okay, especially for the price. Obviously not as good as the more expensive ones but they're way cheaper so I buy them regularly now........ I'd say try them before you make your mind up!! (edited)

    A bargain at Tesco, that's rare and hasn't Asda become ridiculously expensive?

    Cheap fish fingers are ok once in a while for a lazy meal and they actually have more protein per 100g than the more expensive brands, it's cheap meat that worries me far more than reformed 'fish bits'! (edited)

    Not really, it's just the offcuts of the fillets they use for the other brands.

    Aldi Essential fish fingers are 75p, and pretty good for the price.

    These arent really fish fingers though, are they. Theyre the left over bits of fish that are minced up and formed into finger shapes.

    Not that actual fish fingers are much better now, they always use the part of the fish that has the grey line in now, which makes them awful, rather than the nice white part of the fish.

    This is the fish mince sleeped up from the floor at the tail end of the days work.
    pb-live's avatar
    pb-live
    I mean apart from the swept up and floor parts it correct.  And it’s not mince when it’s collected.  

    The process is that the (sterile) machines that the fillets go through have sections where ‘spare’ fish that is shaved off get collected and put in a machine with a perforated drum where they are added a bit like water to a washing machine through the holes, which means only the main fish bits get through, though there are obviously other parts that can be mixed with this from time to time (not on purpose), although that’s the same with modern machined fillets.  It’s not like people make the millions of fish fillets that go into these products by hand any more…

    Pollock are part of the cod species and much cheaper, better value and not minced in Aldi brand, Sainsburys used to do value fish fingers using pollock fillets but changed them to cod mince and are disgusting IMO.

    Waitrose, Morrisons and Sainsbury's do good quality decently priced fish fingers
