P.S. Change the water if you do a 2nd batch to avoid fishy taste

Fried Fish Nuggets 

Cut Blackfish or Porgy fillets into 2 to 3" nuggets. Dip nugget in scrambled egg then into breadcrumbs in a bowl (1)  USE RITZ CRACKERS AND CRUSH WITH ROLLING PIN  (2)  USE PROGRESSO PANKO CRUMBS ITALIAN STYLE AVAILABLE AT CROMWELL WAL MART) and set aside prepared nuggets. Use 1/3 stick of real butter and melt on low medium to medium heat without burning. Place nuggets in frying pan and cook 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side till Golden Brown. Add more butter just prior to cooking 2nd side. Great served hot, leftovers also make a great fish sandwich served  cold with mayo and pickles OR mancini peppers.

Note: May use Striper fillet also. Cooking time will be slightly longer for thicker fillet or butterfly the fillet (Cut the thickness in half).
