  • Repeat for all lollipops. Keep them on a plate aside to set.
  • Crack 1 egg in a flat bowl.
  • Add a pinch of salt.
  • Whisk with a fork to make the egg wash.

  • Heat enough oil in a frying pan on high heat.
  • Reduce the flame when hot. Release the fish lollipops carefully.

Notes

  1. Use fresh ingredients for a rich taste and flavor.
  2. You can use homemade bread crumbs made from ground toast biscuits instead of the store-bought variety.
  3. Adjust chilies according to your taste.
  4. Double-coat to add additional crunchiness to the lollipops.
  5. Do not rush while frying. Flipping the lollipops before one side is cooked nicely will break them.
