These crispy fish goujons are a simple home-cooked seafood favourite, with golden crumbed fish and a fresh lemon mayo for dipping. They are easy to prepare, crowd-pleasing, and perfect with chips, salad or slaw.

The Ingredients

Delicate oven-baked hake fillet, finished in rich garlic butter and served full of fresh, coastal flavour. Light, flaky and beautifully savoury
  • 500g white fish fillets, cut into strips
  • 100g plain flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 150g breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • For the lemon mayo:
  • 150g mayonnaise
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

The Method

Serves: 4

  1. Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper.
  2. Coat each fish strip in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over a medium-high heat.
  4. Fry the goujons in batches for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Mix the mayonnaise with lemon zest and juice.
  6. Serve the goujons hot with lemon mayo.

Make sure to pat the fish dry before breading so the coating sticks better. Do not overcrowd the pan or the goujons will steam instead of crisping.
