Notes
If you don’t want to deep-fry your fish nuggets, you can bake them instead. The result is slightly different but still super delicious and less greasy.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) (fan-forced) and place your nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put the tray in the oven and bake them for about 20 minutes. You may want to turn them once during baking.
