Chunky Fish Fry Recipe | Deep Fried Fish Fillets

The Chunky Fish Fry Recipe is simple and easy. Marinated fish fillets, double coated with breadcrumbs, dep fried for that extra crunch.

But he has developed a peculiar taste for crispy food. The harder, the crunchier the better. So we are constantly baking, frying and air frying things for him hoping he would eat them. This Chunky Fish Fry recipe happens to be his favorite.

This is the simplest fish fry recipe you can get your hands on. We like to keep it chunky because you know one portion of it gives you enough protein.

Hola people. Still enjoying the winter? There’s something special about the winter, isn’t it? You love being out in the mild sun, enjoy a great lunch, sip some hot coffee, enjoy some cakes and have an endless gossip with friends. Winters are also awesome for date palm jaggery or ‘nolen gur’ that we call in Bengali. You can extract the liquid secretion from the date palm trees only in the cold winter mornings. This kind of date palm jaggery is a specialty of Bengal and in winters you will find various kinds of sweets flavored with the date palm jaggery. One of the popular kind is Joynagarer moa. Now if you can’t find ‘nolen gur‘ you can always substitute with sugar for the sweetness.
