COOKS WISDOM
TIP 1
1. You can use any kind of big fish variety, here I have used king fish you can use salmon, shark,
TIP 2
2. If the fish base is too wet add breadcrumbs to it to remove moisture. Do not add more than 3 tbsp else the fish will lose its taste.
TIP 3
3. I have seasoned the egg with pepper and salt to give it taste on the outside too. You can add dried powdered herbs like oregano, thyme or rosemary to the breakcrumbs too.
TIP 4
4. You could skip green chilis and use red chilli powder to spice up the fish fingers.
TIP 5
5. I have shallow fried the fish you can deep fry them too. Since the fish is already cooked no need to fry them for long.
