Crispy Parsley fish nuggets is one of the most easiest and delicious snack/appetiser to make at home. Flaky fish with the hint of lemon, chili and crusted with parsley flavoured cornflakes is absolutely to die for. Nothing can beat the beauty and taste of these homemade crisp flaky fish nuggets than any fast food joint or chain. oh yes! if you prefer you may use bread crumbs for the crust but my self found this cornflakes to be the best coat to blanket these soft gentle flaky fish. Crisp coat with gentle flaky core is an absolute relish. I have used flat leaf parsley here, but you can use curled parsley or even dried parsley can be thrown in. You can bake them too at 200degrees in preheated oven for around 20 minutes or until done well. These nuggets can easily be frozen for a month and the only thing you need to do is throw them in hot oil straight out from the freezer. Do try this and am absolutely sure you will love it .
