I'm assuming they're what we'd call fish sticks, and what I call fishdicks.

Google images for 'fish sticks' shows exactly what we call fish fingers.
Hit the nail on the head, Grav.
I wonder why the different names?

Speaking of names, I wandered into a supermarket in Torrington, Wyoming, looking for familiar sustenance and my gaze was drawn to what we know as fig rolls.
Amusingly, they were called 'Cobblers'. I say amusingly, because 'Cobblers'! is an expression which can be loosely translated as 'I do not agree with your hypothesis my good man. Kindly trouble me with it no further'.


Cobblers!
