Crispy Cod Nuggets

I love cooking crispy and tasty food. That’s something that I inherited from my parents. We would look for chicken and fish recipes and make crispy delights out of them. So right now, I try to continue the tradition by watching and trying to learn from new cooking recipes online. Here’s a good example that I found. 

Yep, crispy cod! Cod is a low-calorie fish that is a great substitute for meat protein. That’s why I’m a big fan of it. Then just recently, I found a really interesting crispy cod nugget recipe online. I’m sharing it because it’s really good!
