Crispy Spiced Fish Finger 香脆鱼柳

Homemade fish fingers aka fish sticks have more fish, more flavour and more crunch than shop bought. Usually served as side dish or finger food. My homemade recipe can be done in three ways - air-fried, pan-fried/ deep fried or oven baked. 

Well, finger food is always a winner with kids. I started making fish finger for my boy when he was a toddler. I started with a basic one with just simple seasoning. You may check out the details here >> Basic Crispy Fish Finger recipe  (<< tap the link to view recipe).

This time, I used frozen fish instead of fresh fish fillet. And so, I have added some natural spices to enhance the flavour. I have got some NOMU spices, the spices from South Africa. As usual, when I select ingredients, I would read the label to make sure there's no added MSG and artificial additives, these NOMU spices met my requirements. :)

Method:

1. Dry fish fillet with kitchen towel. Add in (A), coat well and let marinate for 15 minutes. 

Love this NOMU ONE FOR ALL seasoning.
It's so aromatic, you can simply add this into any dishes.

2. Dust the fillet with some flour.

3. Dip fish fillet into the egg until it's completely covered with egg.

4. Add all ingredients (B) in a bowl, mix well.

This is NOMU Poultry Rub.
Besides roast chicken/ ribs, this Poultry Rub can be added in bread crumbs to enhance the flavour.
It's well blended, so convenient to use. 

5. Dip fish fillet into bread crumbs mixture until it's completely covered with bread crumbs.

Air-fry Method:

1. Grease fryer's pan with olive oil. Place fillet and gently press to flatten. Repeat same steps for all the fillet.

2. Spray a little olive oil on the fillet.

3. Air fry for 8 minutes.

Pan-fry Method: 

1.  Heat oil in a frying pan. Add in the fillet and cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until cook through, golden and crisp.

*Do not over-cooked the fillet to remain the moist in the fillet.

Oven Baked Method:
