1
Prepare the Fish
Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2 inches in size.
2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, prepare the breading station: In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs together until well combined. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, mixing well.

3
Bread the Fish
Take each piece of fish and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the floured fish into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the fish pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles and browns quickly, the oil is ready.
5
Fry the Nuggets
Carefully place the breaded fish nuggets in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the nuggets with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

6
Serve the Fish Nuggets
Once all the fish nuggets are cooked, serve them hot with your choice of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce or ketchup. Enjoy your homemade fish nuggets!
