Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Dory fish fillet | 200 grams |
| Key lime | 1 piece |
| Ground black pepper | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground coriander | 1 teaspoon |
| Seasoned flour | 3 tablespoons |
| Breadcrumbs | As needed |
| Oil for frying | As needed |
Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the fish: Squeeze the juice of one key lime over the dory fillet, making sure it’s evenly coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes to remove any fishy odor. |
| 2 | Rinse and slice: After marinating, rinse the dory fish fillet under cold water, then pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces according to your preference. |
| 3 | Marinate: Season the fish pieces with salt, ground black pepper, and ground coriander. Ensure each piece is well coated for a flavorful bite. |
| 4 | Prepare the batter: In a bowl, mix the seasoned flour with cold water to create a smooth batter. The consistency should be slightly thick, but not too runny. |
| 5 | Coat the fish: Dip each fish piece into the prepared flour batter, making sure it’s fully covered. Then, roll the fish in breadcrumbs until evenly coated. This step ensures a crispy exterior when fried. |
| 6 | Fry the nuggets: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the coated fish pieces into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take around 3-5 minutes. |
| 7 | Serve: Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with spicy sambal sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy! |
