Notes

Place flour, beaten egg and bread crumbs each in a shallow bowl. This will make easier to coat the fish.

Bread crumbs are the traditional coating for  fish fingers, but other curmbled cereals can be used, corn crumbs, for instance. To make corn crumbs, put the corn chips, tortilla chips, or cornflakes in a plastic bag; crush them with a rolling pin, and then place the crumbs into a bowl.

White fish refers to any white flesh fish available, such as cod, hake, coley, etc.
