OMG DON’T LOSE THIS RECIPE! These homemade crunchy fish fingers paired with golden, crispy fries are the ultimate comfort food combo—a perfect snack or meal for the whole family!
Ingredients:
Fish Fingers
1 lb white fish fillets (like cod or tilapia), cut into strips
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs or panko (for extra crunch)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Oil for frying
Golden Fries
3 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional seasoning: garlic powder or paprika
Instructions:
Prepare the Fries: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
Prepare Fish Fingers: Set up a breading station with flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
Coat the Fish: Season fish strips with salt and pepper. Dredge each strip in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently for even coating.
Fry the Fish: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry fish fingers in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve: Arrange the crunchy fish fingers and golden fries on a platter. Serve with tartar sauce, ketchup, or lemon wedges.
Helpful Tip: For added flavor, season the fries with a pinch of smoked paprika or Parmesan after baking!
