Notes
Tips and Tricks
Make sure to dry the fish pieces thoroughly with a paper towel before breading to help the coconut mixture adhere better. If the coconut mixture is not sticking well, try pressing it onto the fish pieces with your hands. Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fish from sticking. If you prefer a crispier coating, you can double coat the fish by repeating the flour, egg, and coconut steps. Use a food processor to make the coconut mixture finer for a smoother texture.Nutrition
