Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for Crispy Finger Fish Fry.

Show 600 grams of perfectly cut fish fingers and explain their size.

To eliminate the fishy smell, clean the fish with 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in water, ensuring the fish is submerged.

Let the fish rest in the salt and vinegar water for 15 minutes.

Wash the fish thoroughly 2-3 times to remove salt and vinegar, then dry it.

Marinate the fish with 3/4 cup of salt, 1 teaspoon crushed red chili, 1 teaspoon white cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon garlic paste.

Add 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and optional orange food color to the marinade.

Include 1/2 tablespoon corn flour and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in the marinade.

Add 1 egg to the marinade and mix well to coat the fish evenly.

Cover the marinated fish and let it rest for half an hour, refrigerating if longer.

Prepare a dipping sauce by mixing 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, grated cucumber (with water removed), 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander.

Coat each fish piece with homemade bread crumbs evenly for a crispy texture.

After coating, place the fish pieces on a plate and freeze for an hour if desired.

Heat oil on medium flame for frying, ensuring the temperature is not too hot to avoid burning the fish.

Fry the fish pieces in medium hot oil, avoiding touching them for 1-1.5 minutes until the coating is crispy.

After 1-1.5 minutes, stir and flip the fish pieces to ensure even frying.

Fry for 6-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, maintaining medium flame throughout.

Remove the fried fish and place on paper towels or a strainer to allow airflow and maintain crispiness.

Show the crispy texture of the fish and encourage viewers to enjoy it with the dipping sauce.
