Goujon is a fancy French word for strips of fish or sometimes chicken being breaded and fried. I personally love fish dishes. I remember how my parents always make sure there were plenty of fish stocked up in the fridge when they know I would be home visiting 🙂 Steam it, deep-fry it, bake-it, or my most favorite…raw (sashimi)..I love them all. My recent favorite white fish fillet are sole and swai fillet. Their flesh are so tender that they melt in your mouth. My daughter loves them too. Using sole or swai fillet to make this fish goujon is simply perfect. The crunchy outside when you bite into them against the soft flesh that just melt in your mouth…simplicity at its best. If I haven’t mentioned before, I also a big fan of fresh dill. Love the smell of it. I enjoy using dill with rice and seafood dishes. This fish goujon can be served as main course or as appetizers if you wish.
