These homemade fish fingers are a big hit with kids and adults. Even quite small children will enjoy helping you to coat them in the breadcrumbs

Ingredients

  • 800g boneless whiting or pollack fillets, skinned and boned
  • 100g flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 200g fresh breadcrumbs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil or rapeseed oil for shallow frying
  • Lemon wedges and tomato ketchup to serve

Method: How to make whiting fish fingers

1. Cut the fillets into approximately 3cm x 8cm 'fingers'.

2. Prepare three bowls, one containing the flour, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, another containing the beaten eggs, and a third containing the fresh breadcrumbs. One at a time, dust the fish fingers lightly with the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg and finally, coat each finger thoroughly with fresh breadcrumbs.

3. Place a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium-high heat with a few tablespoons of oil. Shallow-fry the fish fingers for approximately 2–3 minutes each side until golden.

4. Serve with a squeeze of lemon, mushy peas and tomato ketchup.
