Place each fish piece over the bread crumbs and coat them well.
Set aside for 2 to 3 mins.
How to make fish fingers
for grilling: preheat oven at 180 c.
Prepare a tray by greasing or lining with a baking sheet.
Place the fish pieces on the prepared tray.
Bake them for 15 to 20 mins.
The last 5 mins i put the oven to 150 c.
This gives a better crust.
Once cooked, the oil begins to ooze out slightly from the fish, this is when i get the fish out of the oven.
For deep frying: pour oil in a deep pan and heat it.
Test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of bread, it must come up slowly without browning.
Then you can slide in few fish fingers to the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp.
Enjoy as a starter or as a snack with your favorite sauce or a cup of masala tea.
