INGREDIENTS
For the Crispy Fish Fingers
500 grams Pacific Bay Ready to Heat Fish Fingers
Enough oil for deep frying
Lemon wedges, for serving
For the Tangy Tartar Mayo
100 grams mayonnaise
20 grams gherkins or pickles, finely chopped
10 grams capers, finely chopped
10 grams red onion or shallot, finely minced
10 milliliters lemon juice
5 grams dijon mustard
Salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper, to taste
5 grams chopped parsley (optional)
PROCEDURE:
Fry the fish fingers until golden brown. Heat oil in a fryer or deep pan to 170 to 180°C, then fry the Pacific Bay Ready to Heat Fish Fingers in batches for 3 to 4 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through, draining them on paper towels afterwards.
Prepare the homemade tartar mayo. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped gherkins (or pickles), capers, minced red onion, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
Season and chill the tartar mayo. Mix all the tartar mayo ingredients well, then season with salt, cracked black pepper, and optional chopped parsley to taste, chilling the sauce before serving to enhance its flavors.
Serve hot with lemon. Arrange the crispy, hot fish fingers on a serving platter with a generous side of the tangy homemade tartar mayo and fresh lemon wedges, ready to be enjoyed immediately for the best texture.
Notes:
Pacific Bay Ready to Heat Fish Fingers are a convenient and quick option for a delicious meal, pre-seasoned and ready for frying from frozen.
For an extra layer of flavor in your tartar sauce, consider adding a touch of anchovy paste or a splash of pickle brine.
For the crispiest texture, it's highly recommended to serve the fish fingers immediately after frying.
