Fish finger facts * The traditional British fish finger was first produced in 1955, by Birds Eye in Great Yarmouth * More than 1.5m fish fingers are eaten in Britain every day * Around 99 per cent of the fish used in British fingers is imported from Iceland, Norway, Germany and Russia * The largest fish finger was 6ft long, weighed 21st 5lb and was made in Germany * An American version known as the fish stick is thought to have been invented in Massachusetts * The fish finger was invented partly to help fishermen find a market for increasingly large hauls of cod * In the first year of production, 600 tons of fish fingers were consumed in the UK * Cod is the traditional fish for fingers, although herring was also used in the products trial stages * The first fish fingers were launched at the Brighton Sales conference in 1955 and sold for 1s 8d (8p) a packet * Fish fingers were initially sold in handmade wax-coated cartons, with each finger wrapped in a printed waxed film * The first advertising campaign read: No bones, no waste, no smell, no fuss * Captain Birdseye, introduced in 1967, was played by John Hewer
