Freshly made fish fingers and snitzel

The best fish for Fish Fingers is Percha (that horrible one from Lake Victoria, see scary 'Darwin's Nightmare' documantary) - its firm and fleshy and doesnt crumble. It's also cheap.

  • Cut into fish finger size fingers. 
  • Get 3 plates: one with flour, one with beaten egg, one with crumbs. Do the 'conveyer belt' thing: roll in flour, dip in egg, roll in crumbs. 
  • Shallow fry until golden each side (careful the egg tends to burn easily).
You can also make Snitzel in a similar way (my Greek yaya used to make this for me when I was little, even though I suppose it must be German by the name).

  • Tenderise fillets of chicken or pork by covering in clingfilm and bashing with a rolling pin.
  • Do conveyor belt thing.
  • Shallow fry.
Total comfort food!

  1. Did the fish-fingers recipe with fresh mackerel yesterday and it was amazing! I got the fishmonger to cut the mackerel in half and take out all the bones and then did the flour/egg/breadcrumb thing and fried it. A super-healthy, sustainable, yummy meal for all the family! (not for really little ones as they are not supposed to eat "pescado azul" too young - think it's before 18 months or something). Mackerel is "verat" in Catalan- at least I think it ws mackerel!
