Description

Chef Ashleigh Shanti knows her way around a fish fry. The James Beard Award winner and chef-owner of Good Hot Fish has built her reputation on honoring Black Appalachian foodways and the Southern fish camp tradition, where crispy fried fish has been bringing people together for generations. These trout fingers are her take on making that magic accessible for home cooks who might be intimidated by frying a whole fish. Cut into strips, they cook fast and stay tender, while the cornmeal coating gets perfectly crunchy with help from Good Hot Fish's Salt & Vinegar seasoning from our Made with Love in Asheville Collection. That briny, tangy kick is what makes these trout fingers taste like the real deal without any of the fuss. This is cooking that feels special, the kind of recipe that turns you into the person who can casually fry fish on a Tuesday and make it look easy. Recipe by Chef Ashleigh Shanti for the 10-Pack Made with Love in Asheville Collection.
