A delightful twist on the classic fish and chips, featuring bite-sized pieces of fish coated in a zesty batter and fried to golden perfection.
Heat oil in a deep pan until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and salt.
Sifting the flour ensures a smooth batter.
Add the egg, melted butter, milk, and lemon zest to the bowl and whisk until smooth.
Whisk the batter until no lumps remain for an even coating.
Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the pieces are of uniform size for even cooking.
Dip each piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Let excess batter drip off before frying to avoid clumping.
Carefully place the battered fish pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature.
Remove the fish bites from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Draining on paper towels helps remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy fish bites with fresh lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
Arrange the fish bites on a platter for an appealing presentation.
