I tried this recipe and it was ok, but the fish kinda fell apart while frying. I might need to coat them better next time.
Not bad, but I think frozen fish fingers are just as good. Way easier too! 😂
But homemade ones taste so much better! You get that fresh vibe. 😊
Frozen fish fingers are processed. This recipe is totally healthier, don’t you think?
These were delicious! My kids loved them! I did add some paprika for a kick.
