The Best Fish Nuggets EVER | Easy Homemade

Begin by making the batter, add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour into a large bowl, along with 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and a generous 1/4 tsp sweet smoked paprika, whisk together, then add in 1/2 cup of water and whisk until you end up with a creamy batter with no lumps

Reserve 1 cup of breadcrumbs in a separate bowl, season with a 1/4 tsp (1.20 grams) sea salt and mix together

To prepare the fish, first pat it completely dry with paper towes, then cut it into squares that are about 1 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch (3.81 cm by 3.81 cm) and then season with sea salt & black pepper

To coat the pieces of fish, first dip into the batter and then into the breadcrumbs, making sure the breadcrumbs are evenly coating the piece of fish, continue until done

Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in 1/2 cup sunflower oil, after 4 to 5 minutes and the oil is hot, add in the coated pieces of fish into the pan, cook in batches to not overcrowd the pan, after 2 to 2 1/2 minutes flip to fry the other side (the thickness of my fish was 1/2 inch), after another 2 to 2 1/2 minutes remove the fish nuggets from the pan and transfer to a dish with paper towels, continue to cook in batches until done, serve at once, enjoy!
