Ingredients
- 10 1/2 ounce boneless white fish, cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1–2 teaspoon peri peri seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. To start, ensure the fish cubes are completely dry. Gently pat them with paper towels until they are free of any excess moisture. Then, cut the fish into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
2. Next, create the flavorful spice marinade. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, peri peri seasoning, ginger garlic paste, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoon of flour. Mix these ingredients together to form a paste-like consistency.
3. Now, toss the fish cubes in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for even more intense flavor.
4. To achieve the perfect crispy texture, set up a breading station. In separate dishes, prepare the remaining all-purpose flour, beaten egg mixed with milk, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with dried parsley.
5. Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F. Working in batches, carefully add the breaded fish nuggets to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, turning them halfway, until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Once the Spicy Fish Nuggets are fried to perfection, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain any excess oil. Serve these beauties hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces for an added flavor punch.
Notes
These Spicy Fish Nuggets are the ultimate crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer. Serve them alongside a fresh, crisp salad or some lightly seasoned roasted vegetables for a well-balanced meal.
