Here are some additional tips and tricks for making a great chicken fried fish fingers:

• Make sure the fish is dry before you start cooking. Pat it dry with a paper towel.

• Don't overcrowd the pan when you're frying the fish fingers. This will lower the temperature of the oil and make the fish fingers soggy.

• Serve the fish fingers immediately with your favorite toppings.
