Think of these as upscale fish sticks. Tender fish cubes are coated in a seasoned batter and deep-fried until crisp and golden brown. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 quart oil, for frying
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
1/2 cup corn flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 pounds fish fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes (cod, tilapia, or halibut work well)

directions

Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep fryer or deep, heavy pan.

Combine the egg, milk, salt, and half of the cayenne pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk until combined.

Combine the corn flour, all-purpose flour, remaining cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder in another shallow bowl and mix well.

Dip the fish nuggets first in the egg mixture, coating them completely and letting any excess drip off. Next, dredge them in the flour mixture, coating them well on all sides.

Add the fish nuggets to the hot oil in small batches. Cook, turning as needed, until the fish is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove the fish nuggets from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling while you fry the remaining batches.

Serve the fish nuggets immediately with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
