Fish is such a good food to include in your child’s diet. One of my daughters’ favourite ways to eat fish at the moment is fish fingers. They both request them a number of times during the week for lunch and dinner. Not that we have them that often.
To take advantage of this new found liking, I decided to get Bear and Bee to help me make Homemade Fish Fingers for dinner. I prefer to shallow fry the fish fingers in a small amount of canola oil to make them super crispy on the outside but if you would like a healthier option I would suggest spraying them with olive oil spray and baking in the oven at 180oC for 15 minutes.
Homemade Fish Fingers
½ cup plain flour
¼ cup reduced-fat milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
400 grams firm while fish fillets, cut into 1-2 cm
thick slices
Canola oil for frying
Directions
1. Place the flour on a dinner plate.
2. Mix the milk and egg together in a shallow bowl.
3. Place the breadcrumbs on a dinner plate.
4. Roll 1 piece of fish in the flour and shake gently
to remove any excess.

5. Dip the fish into the egg mix and then roll in the
breadcrumbs. Place the coated fish
finger on a clean plate and repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining fish pieces.

6. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat.
7. Carefully place half of the fish fingers in the oil
and fry until golden brown and cooked through.
Depending on how thick you cut the fish fingers this should be about 3-4
minutes per side.
8. Remove the fish fingers when cooked and place on a
tray lined with paper towel. Keep warm.
9.Add a little
extra oil to the pan, if necessary, and repeat steps 7 and 8 with the remaining
fish fingers
10. Serve with homemade vegetable chips, mashed potato and steamed greens or a green salad.
