Happy 50th Fish Fingers!

Fish fingers are 50 years old! Launched by Clarence Birdseye in 1955, they have become a popular meal at teatime. The television adverts featuring Cap'n Birdseye have been running since 1967 and a poll said that he was the most recognised captain after Captain Cook. He's been running longer than the Milky Bar Kid and Ronald McDonald and 15 billion fingers have been sold since their launch. Shiver me timbers.
