Oat Coated Fish Fingers Recipes

OAT CRUSTED FISH

Steps:

• Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• In a bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Coat cod fillets with flour; shake off excess. Dip cod in egg mixture; allow excess to drip off. Coat cod with oats.
• Place fish one at a time in hot oil; fry about 2 1/2 minutes, then turn over, and fry about 2 1/2 minutes more. Remove to paper towels. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

OATMEAL-CRUSTED TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Coarsely grind the oatmeal in a food processor. Transfer to a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Beat the egg and milk in another shallow dish.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Remove and reserve all but about 2 tablespoons drippings from the skillet. Add the leeks and garlic to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the parsley, bacon, and salt and pepper to taste; keep warm.
• Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Dredge the trout in the oats, dip in the milk mixture and then in the oats again, turning to coat. Heat the reserved bacon drippings with the olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the trout in batches until golden on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip and fry until cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Add the vinegar to the skillet and bring to a boil. Serve the trout with the leeks and drizzle with the vinegar dressing

CRISP CRUMBED FISH FINGERS

Steps:

• Cut fish fillets into long diagonal strips, each measuring about 3/4 inch wide.
• Break eggs into a shallow dish and beat well with a fork. Place bread crumbs in another shallow dish. Put flour, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top bag.
• Dip fish strips in egg, turning to coat well. Place on a plate and then shake a few at a time in the bag of seasoned flour. Dip in egg again and then in bread crumbs, turning to coat well. Place on a tray in a single layer, not touching, and let the coating set for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/2 inch oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry fish strips in batches (taking care not to overcrowd the pan) in the hot oil for about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, turning once. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and repeat to fry remaining strips.
• Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

POSH FISH FINGERS

Steps:

• Clean fish fillets and cut into 8 thin pieces. Place on a kitchen towel to dry.
• Place flour and bread crumbs in two separate bowls. Divide bouillon powder and parsley between the 2 bowls and mix to combine. Beat eggs with a fork in a third bowl.
• Dip fish into the flour, then into the egg wash, and finally dust lightly in bread crumbs. Place on a plate.
• Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Gently add fish to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Serve fillets with parsley and lemon wedges.
