This Morning chef James Martin divided ITV viewers today with his fish finger sandwich recipe.
James, 48, revealed his recipe of the classic dish during Monday’s show (March 15).
However, it didn’t win all viewers over as some declared it was NOT a fish finger sandwich.
What did ITV viewers say about This Morning?
Many claimed it wasn’t a fish finger sandwich because James used fish fillets rather than actual fish fingers.

One added: “Sod this faffing about. Birds Eye fish fingers, Hovis bread, Hellmann’s mayo. Job done. No prep, no effort, all the flavour.”
Another said: “I like James, but if you’re having a fish finger sandwich, it’s because you want something simple. [Expletive] all this faffing about.”
One wrote: “‘Epic fish finger sandwich’ recipe. No one wants to faff about making a fish finger sandwich.
“You pick up a loaf of bread, some butter and a box of Birds Eye fish fingers. Pop the fish fingers in the oven, toast the bread and you’re done.”

What else happened on This Morning today?
Meanwhile, before James’ cooking segment, host Holly Willoughby asked James if he would be using frozen fish fingers.
She said, “Are you making the fish fingers?” to which James replied: “Yes… it would be a lot easier if I just defrosted them.
“My life would be a lot easier if I just went to the freezer and just defrosted everything!”
Holly burst into giggles as Phillip Schofield joked: “I don’t know how you’d fill eight minutes with take them out the freezer.”
