For the Cod Fish Nuggets

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and paprika, the second with beaten eggs and milk, and the third with cornmeal.

  2. 2

    Cut the Cod

    Cut the cod fillets into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches in size.

  3. 3

    Coat the Cod Nuggets

    Dip each piece of cod into the flour mixture, shaking off the excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the cornmeal, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  5. 5

    Fry the Nuggets

    Carefully add the coated cod pieces to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
