Spooky 'witch' fish fingers recipe
Pick 'witch' white fish you prefer and get cooking. Serve as part of a Halloween spread, or with oven-baked wedges or mashed potatoes, and baked beans or peas to make a meal of it.
As an alternative to ketchup, try homemade tomato sauce or salsa.

Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/fan 180ºC/gas mark 6. Lightly grease a large baking tray with oil.
- Season the flour with a little salt and pepper and place in a wide, shallow bowl. Place the egg and breadcrumbs in separate bowls.
- Working in batches, coat the fish strips in the seasoned flour, then in the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the fish fingers in a single layer on the baking tray. Drizzle with the 1 tbsp of oil and bake for about 10 minutes, turning over halfway until the fish is firm and cooked through.
- Serve immediately, topped with a piece of tomato skin at the end of each finger to make a nail, and served with the tomato ketchup and the lettuce.
