I really enjoy eating fish but unfortunately my OH only likes it white, plain and covered in either breadcrumbs or mixed with mash potato – i.e. fish fingers or fish cakes! So if I make myself a fish pie or cook myself a piece of fish it is just for me, although I am trying to get the boys to like fish so I can share the fish supper love with them!
So when Keith said that the theme for this weeks Recipe Shed is TASTE OF THE SEA, I thought I would wow you (ha ha!) with my homemade fish fingers which the OH will at least eat – even though he says afterwards that they taste too fishy for him and he prefers a well know fish finger that used to have a man with a white beard advertise them!
Ingredients:
1 decent sized cod steak per person, cut into equal strips (about 4)
1 weetabix (optional)
100g breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 lemon zest
oregano (or you could use parsley if you prefer)
black pepper
olive oil
Method:
*Pre-heat the oven to 200oC/18oC fan
* Lightly grease a baking tray with olive oil
*cut the cod steaks into finger portions
*mix the breadcrumbs, (weetabix), lemon zest, black pepper and oregano together and place in a flat dish or plate
*put the beaten egg into a bowl
*dip the strips of cod in to the egg
*then put the egg covered strips into the breadcrumbs
*once all the fingers are covered place baking tray into oven and cook for about 22 minutes
* once cooked dish up straight away and I think they are best served with homemade chips and peas

Thank you xx
Mmmm lovely , will definatly be trying this one out.
Weetabix!! Genius. That’s what the kids are having for Friday night tea. Thanks for sharing. Next week’s Recipe Shed theme will be ROASTS
Oh you are good making your own fishfingers. I could just eat that now, they look delicious.
One question…did Burton eat them?

Wow!! Yummy or what? Do you know what, I really can’t stand ready-made fishfingers, they just feel so ‘wrong’ . These homemade ones, on the other hand, really look utterly delicious and I could eat them right now (instead of of leftover chicken which is what I am having). Having never attempted to make fishfingers, you have inspired me to try!
nom! bookmarked 🙂
Ooo I will definitely be trying this, despite my initial reaction of “weetabix – wtf?!”. Looks delicious!
Weetabix is intriguing, I guess it helps make it crispy? Even cheaper if you use coley or hake rather than cod also 🙂
We do home made fish fingers too. Love it myself and my daughter is a huge fan!
