Fish Fingers - you cant stop munching:

This is an excellent snack / appetizer which will be loved by all the non veggies. Fish finger has a crunchy crispiness outside and softness of tender fish inside. They can be baked in the oven, shallow fried, grilled or deep fried. In all the ways they are quite appealing and appetizing.

I have been thinking of making this but I didn’t know what type of fish is used for this. Most of the fish fingers are made with salmon, which we get very rarely.  So I thought of buying a fleshy fish and ended up with black pomfret and the result was scrumptious. My little one couldn’t stop munching till the last. These days I make them regularly as fish (as compared to any other non-veg) is very nutritious and healthy for kids.

In this recipe, the fish is cut into rectangles, marinated with spices, covered in breadcrumbs and fried in oil. Fish fingers can also be used as a filling for burger and sandwiches.
