Notes
- Toast the breadcrumbs for a deeper, nuttier and richer crust. This is just an extra 6-7 minutes of your time but it makes a world of difference to your fish fingers.
- Panko bread crumbs offer a far more superior crust compared to regular Italian breadcrumbs.
- Seasoning the crumbs is a great tip to add some flavor with minimal effort.
- The wet mixture is also seasoned for extra flavor.
- Make sure you toss the cut up fish fillets well into the wet mixture because this is what helps the crumbs stick.
- The type of fish you use if crucial. Use firm fillets for this recipe. Avoid flakey sensitive thin fillets.
- If baking in the oven, place the coated fish on a cooling rack over the baking sheet. This step helps the fish fingers crisp up on all sides.
- If you have an air fryer, then the air fryer fish fingers are quicker and come out JUST as perfect!
- Prepare the fish, coat them in wet mixture and then toasted breadcrumbs. Now place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze them. To cook them, bake as above by adding extra 5 minutes to the time.
- You can likewise freeze baked or air fried fish fingers. Once cooled after cooking, place the fish fingers in a sealed ziploc vag and freeze them. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer for 5 minutes.
- This is the good news-you can make your own frozen fish fingers and never opt for store bought again!
- Fries are my kids' favorite side dish to serve with these, and of course dipping sauces. Spicy Mayo is a MUST for us, along with Tartar Sauce Recipe. A flavor packed Garlic Sauce is SO GOOD! Garlic Parmesan Sauce and Dill Sauce are SO GOOD!
- Today we used Mahi Mahi. It's a firm white fish that holds its shape SO well! And that's KEY for this recipe. Avoid using flakey, sensitive fish. Other types like Haddock, Cod, Halibut, or Tilapia.
