How to Cook Fish Fingers (Homemade)
- Season the flour with salt and freshly-ground black pepper and place in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs and place in a second shallow dish. And finally, place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish. If you want the breadcrumbs to be golden then mix the turmeric into the flour.
- Cut the fish into neat thumb-sized strips or pieces then methodically dip a finger of fish in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dredge it through the egg and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs so it's completely coated then place it on a plate prior to cooking. (If you wish, the fish fingers can now be laid on a tray, frozen then placed into a sealed bag).
- To cook the fingers heat about ½" (1cm) of oil in a frying pan and cook the fingers for 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely golden. If cooking in batches, place each batch on a tray lined with kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven. Serve hot with chips (fries) and peas!
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
If you don't like fried food, brush an oven tray with a little oil and cook the fish fingers in a preheated moderately hot oven (Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC) for about 10 - 12 minutes until golden and cooked through. Turn over half way through cooking.

No mess, no fuss, just throw it in the oven and leave it alone till it's ready to eat. That's the approximate theory! How close do we get?
Not everything is right for freezing. Some foods, however, just beg to go into the freezer waiting for that moment when you need them most!
Lamb is sometimes thought of as "tough" meat but, properly cooked, it is one of the finest meats for both everyday and when entertaining.
