Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Cut the white fish fillets into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm each. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
Prepare three separate bowls: one with the all-purpose flour, another with the eggs (beaten), and the third with the breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each fish piece in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches approximately 180°C (350°F).
Carefully place the coated fish nuggets into the hot oil in small batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fish nuggets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining fish pieces.
Serve the fish nuggets hot with lemon wedges on the side and your favorite dipping sauce (such as tartar or ketchup).
