    Fish Katsu Bites

    Fish Katsu Bites. Crispy panko-breaded nuggets of fried cod. Easy to make and ready in 30 minutes. Great for dinner or lunch.

    Since my Chicken Katsu recipe was such a hit, I thought I'd share a fish katsu recipe but in bite form! The recipe is very similar to that but instead of chicken, we are using a sturdy white fish like cod or haddock (not tilapia).

    I love having this fried fish katsu in bite form and these bites are shallow fried not deep fried, like all my katsu recipes. Personally, I don't like wasting so much oil and it's slightly healthier this way.

    My Japanese fish katsu recipe pairs deliciously with some cabbage slaw, rice, or any leafy greens! And you must pair these bites with a dip, whether that's a sriracha mayo or a katsu sauce, which I've shared a recipe below for.

    For this recipe

    You will need the following ingredients for my white fish katsu:

    2 frozen haddock or cod loins, thawed, dried and cut into bite size pieces
    1 cup Japanese panko breadcrumbs
    1 egg, whisked
    3 tablespoon cornstarch
    Salt and pepper
    ⅓ cup avocado oil

    Required: small non stick pan

    Homemade sriracha mayo:

    2 tablespoon Japanese mayo
    ½ teaspoon sriracha sauce

    How to make Fish Katsu

    1. Pat your fish bites dry with a paper towel on both sides.
    2. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
    3. Dredge each piece of fish into cornstarch evenly, then dip it into your whisked egg and lastly coat it evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
    4. In a small non stick pan set over medium heat, heat your avocado oil. Use a wooden chopstick to test if oil is ready by checking for bubbles to form at the tip of the chopstick.
    5. When oil is hot enough, place your breaded fish into the pan. Fry on all sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Enjoy with homemade sauce!
    6. Mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
