INGREDIENTS                                                                                                                                                       

4 Persons

For the Fish Fingers:
  • 1 lb firm fish fillets (snapper, grouper), cut into finger-sized strips
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Bahamian seasoning blend (or a mix of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying

INSTRUCTIONS                                                                                                                                                     

1) In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and Bahamian seasoning blend. Set aside.

2) Place the flour in another shallow dish, and the beaten eggs in a third dish.

3) Dredge each fish strip in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with the seasoned breadcrumbs mixture.

4) Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

5) Carefully add the breaded fish fingers to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

6) Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fish fingers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

7) Serve the Fish Fingers hot with tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce, and savor the authentic flavors of the Bahamas!
