Fish Bites with Homemade Tartar Sauce


These little fish bites will be a great hit with the kids.  They are juicy inside and crispy outside and oh so easy to make!  The homemade tartar sauce is easy and the Dijonnaise gives it just the right amount of tartness.

Fish Bites

3 - 4 fillets of your favorite white fish (boneless)
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 Tbsp. sea salt + more
1 tsp. ground pepper
2 cups evaporated milk
oil for frying

Cut fish fillets into small bite-sized chunks.  In bowl 1, add the evaporated milk, salt and pepper.  In bowl 2, add flour, cornmeal and cornstarch and mix well. 

Dip fish into the flour first, the milk and then back into the flour, pressing down to make sure pieces are coated well.  I suggest breading all of the fish filets first because they will cook quickly.  Set them aside on a plate.

Bring oil up to heat.  To test, drop a smidgen of flour into the oil and if it sizzles, then you are good to go.  (appr. 350 degrees).    Drop about 4 or 5 at a time so as not to overcrowd the pan.  Turn once and remove when both sides are browned and crispy.  Place onto paper towels to drain the oil.

Serve with tartar sauce or I like to eat mine with YumYum sauce.
