British Foods That Don't Make Sense to Anyone Outside the UK

Fish Finger Sandwich

Frozen foods are a lifesaver when you don’t feel like cooking, and it turns out Brits feel the same way. They load their freezers with all sorts of convenient options, like frozen fries (or chips, as they call them), turkey dinosaurs, potato smileys, and fish sticks. While these items are pretty common in freezers worldwide, Brits take it a step further by turning fish sticks into a sandwich

Yes, they layer a few fish sticks between two slices of buttered bread, then add ketchup—and sometimes mayo—for extra flavor. Who would’ve thought?

This quirky snack might sound unusual to North Americans, but it’s a quick, filling meal that’s perfect for busy days. After all, why settle for plain fish sticks when you can turn them into a handheld treat? It’s a creative twist that proves frozen foods can be more than just a backup plan. Maybe it’s time to give this British-inspired sandwich a try—after all, who doesn’t love a good food hack?
