Fish Bites
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Fish
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches).
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
- 3
Coating and Frying
- 4
Prepare Breadcrumbs
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. This will be used for coating the fish pieces.
- 5
Coat the Fish
Dip each piece of fish into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set aside on a plate.
- 6
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Fish Bites
Carefully add fish pieces to the hot oil in batches, without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain Excess Oil
Once cooked, remove the fish bites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve Hot
Serve the fish bites hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over them. Enjoy your crispy fish bites!
