Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound whiting fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup corn flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten with 2 tablespoons milk
2 lemons, halved
Tartar Sauce, recipe follows
Fresh parsley, for garnish
1 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers, drained and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cornichons or dill pickle
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon or pinch dried tarragon
Few drops lemon juice
Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oil in a large cast iron or heavy bottomed pot, over medium heat. Cut the fillets, horizontally into strips, 1/2-inch thick. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Combine the flours and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of fish in the flour, coating completely. Dip each piece in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the fish for a second time in the flour, coating completely. Fry the fish in batches until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the fish with lemon halves and tartar sauce and garnish with parsley.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Add lemon juice and salt, to taste. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

These fish fingers are a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I made these fish fingers in the air fryer, and they turned out perfectly crispy. I'll definitely be making them this way again.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I actually really enjoyed these fish fingers. They were light and flaky, and the tartar sauce was delicious.

I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs, and it gave the fish fingers a nice crunchy coating.

The tartar sauce is the star of the show. It's tangy and creamy, and it really takes the fish fingers to the next level.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fish fingers didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The fish fingers were a bit greasy for my taste, but the flavor was good.

These fish fingers were a hit with my family! The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the fish was cooked perfectly. The tartar sauce was also delicious and complemented the fish perfectly.
