What’s the best bread to use for a fish nugget sandwich?

Soft white rolls, brioche buns, or thick-cut sandwich bread all work brilliantly. Choose a bread that holds up to the crispy nuggets and any sauces you add — such as tartare, mayo, or even a bit of sriracha for a kick.

Can I make this fish nugget sandwich gluten free?

Yes, just swap the bread for a gluten-free option and use gluten-free fish nuggets — many supermarkets now offer these in their frozen free-from ranges. Always double-check packaging for allergens.

What should I serve with a fish nugget sandwich?

Crisps, a simple side salad, or sweet potato wedges made in the air fryer pair really well. It’s also lovely with some pickles or slaw inside the sandwich for added crunch and flavour.

Is this fish nugget sandwich suitable for meal prep?

Yes, you can prep the components ahead — cook the fish nuggets in advance and reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to bring back the crisp. Assemble the sandwich just before eating for best texture.
