What it is
These are pre-cooked fish fillets coated in a seasoned breading. They are typically made from white fish, such as pollock or cod, which is known for its mild flavor and flaky texture. The breading provides a crispy exterior when cooked, making them a convenient option for a quick meal. They are often found in the frozen section of grocery stores.

To prepare, these fillets are usually cooked from frozen. Common methods include baking in an oven until the breading is golden brown and the fish is heated through, or pan-frying for an extra crispy finish. They can also be air-fried.
