Name: Crunchy little pieces of fish
Prep time: 46 min
Cook time: 3 min
Total time: 49 min
Yield: 4 people
Cuisine: french
Ingredients: 300 g fish fillet; 1 egg; 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs; 1 teaspoon flour; salt; pepper

Step by step recipe:

10 min.
Cut 300 g fish fillet into pieces about the size of your thumb.

Salt and pepper both sides.
2 min.
In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon flour.
2 min.
In another bowl, beat 1 egg with a fork, until yolk and white are totally mixed.
5 min.
Dip fish pieces in beaten egg, remove with a fork to drain them...
5 min.
...and roll in breadcrumbs.

Advice: use one fork for the egg bowl, and another for the breadcrumbs bowl, otherwise you will get your fork covered with a sticky mess of egg and crumbs.
2 min.
Put in the deep fryer, keeping the pieces apart.
3 min.
Fry for 2 or 3 minutes...
20 min.
...until they are nicely golden.

Drain on absorbant paper, and salt immediately.

Continue like this for all the fish pieces.

Remarks:

The variety of fish does not really matter, whatever you prefere, but it should be fairly thick.

You can dip the fish twice in egg and breadcrumbs if you like a thicker, crunchier crust.

Another possibility: deep a second time in egg and then in seeds like sesame, linseed, poppyseed, etc.
