Crispy Fish Fritter is a very popular appetizer which mostly goes with a cup of Coffee or Tea. The outer Crispy layer perfectly complements the delicious and flavorful inner core made from a mixture of fish & different spices. The Crispy Fish Fritter is not only mouthwatering but also very easy and quick to make at home.
You can have this Crispy Fish Fritter in many different ways. You can either have it with chutney or make sandwich using it. When I make the Crispy Fish Fritter in a large quantity I use our Panini Press to make delicious sandwich.
Once the mixture is ready make small small patties and deep fry them later. In case you want to make this recipe more healthy you can shallow fry the patties instead of deep frying them. I have also tried baking them in oven, however its takes lot of time so I don’t recommend it.
Crispy Fish Fritter is another recipe which you can make under 30mins. You can make lots of them and keep them in refrigerator for later use. The Crispy Fish Fritter has been a big savior when I had unexpected guest and always received huge appreciation for this delicious recipe.
