When we left for the market I asked Normita what she felt like eating, and she wanted some fish. Our fish merchant had some nice thick robalo filets, a common fish here from the snook family, fresh from Golf Coast. We selected a particularly thick one and had 6 nice fish sticks about 1&quot; square and 5&quot; long cut out of the filet. I still was not sure how I would prepare them, but I finely decided to do something simple and bread them in a crust of peanuts and pumpkin seeds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Breading Ready to Go\" height=\"345\" alt=\"Breading Ready to Go\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igourmand.com\/wp-content\/NutBreading.jpg\" width=\"463\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Breading the Fish Sticks\" height=\"345\" alt=\"Breading the Fish Sticks\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igourmand.com\/wp-content\/NutBreading2.jpg\" width=\"463\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The fish turned out meltingly juicy and tender, in a nice crispy crust.

Prepare 3 bowls wide enough to be able to dip the fish sticks in them.<br \/>2. In the first bowl place flour, onion powder and salt, and mix with spoon until well combined.<br \/>3. In the second bowl break the 2 eggs, add the tsp of olive oil, and the tsp of heavy cream.<br \/>4. With a fork whisk the eggs gently until you have a smooth homogeneous mixture.<br \/>5. In the third bowl place the ground peanuts and pumpkins and mix together well.<br \/>6. Take a fish stick and place in the flour bowl until well coated on both sides.<br \/>7. Pass the fish stick through the egg mixture until well coated on both sides, then let drip the excess.<br \/>8. Place the egg-coated fish stick in the nut mixture until all sides are coated well.<br \/>9. Place on a wire rack to dry.<br \/>10. Rinse your fingers and repeat with the other fish sticks.<br \/>11. Place the wire rack in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes for the breading to dry.<br \/>12. In a large frying pan on a medium fire melt the butter and add the olive oil.<br \/>13. Cook fish sticks in the butter 3-4 minutes per side, until well browned for a total of around 7-8 minutes.<br \/>14. Put on a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and serve.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Cooked Robalo\" height=\"345\" alt=\"The Cooked Robalo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.igourmand.com\/wp-content\/RobaloNut.jpg\" width=\"463\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lucito<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is another new recipe from last Saturday when Johnny Boy&nbsp;dropped by.
