Rockfish Nuggets

Living on the Chesapeake Bay this recipe quickly became a staple in our home.  A great way to get the kids to eat all the fish we bring home.  These rock-fish ‘Chik-Fil-A’ style nuggets are great side dishes for parties and BBQs.  The also reheat well after frozen.

Fried (Chik-Fil-A Style) Rock-fish Nuggets
Print Recipe
Frying cubed nuggets of rock-fish with a very similar recipe that Chik-Fil-A uses to prepare and cook chicken nuggets. Our kids love these, and of course we also use chicken. They really do taste just like Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets. You can use any oil to fry with but we prefer coconut or peanut oil. This same recipe can be use for any fish. We also make mahi fingers using this recipe and sometimes add finely diced jalapeno to our breading mix.
