Dr. Seuss's Finney's Freshest Fish
Fresh fish is the best fish (that's Finney's claim to fame) but we think this oven-fried dish is the bestest fish 'cause freshest is in its name.
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup almonds
- ½ cup toasted oat cereal (like Cheerios)
- 2½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 fillets of a firm, white fish such as red snapper, sea bass or cod
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Pour into a pie plate or another shallow plate.
Chop the almonds and toasted oat cereal in a blender or with a knife to make a crumblike mixture. Put it on a sheet of wax paper or aluminum foil.
Use a tablespoon of the olive oil to grease a baking sheet.
Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Dip it in the eggs, then lay it atop the almonds and toasted oat cereal, pressing down. Gently turn it over and the crumbs into the other side. Lay on the baking sheet and let stand 15 minutes to set the crust.
Sprinkle the fish with the salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
Bake until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Serve with Finney's Finest Dilly Dip and Finney's Coleslaw.
