Fish fingers in lemonade batter

Not yet rated

Fish fingers are a fun snack and are even better when you make from scratch. Shaun Rankin's fish fingers recipe utilises a strikingly tasty ingredient in the batter: lemonade. This battered fish makes a light snack for 4 or a swell lunch served alongside salad and rice, or perhaps a delicious filling for a fish finger sandwich.
