Homemade Fish Goujons Recipe
This recipe makes enough goujons for 4 (or 3 very hungry!) people.
Making your own fish (or chicken) fingers is a great recipe to get the kids involved with – they love dipping and coating the goujons themselves.
Ingredients
- 4 skinless fillets of firm white fish (cod, haddock, etc)
- 4 tbsp flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 120g breadcrumbs
- 3-4 sweet potatoes
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan.
2. Use a sharp knife to cut each fillet into chunky strips.
3. Arrange three bowls in a row – one each for the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs.
4. Dip each fish goujon into the flour, then the egg wash, and finally into the breadcrumbs. Lay the crumbed fish on a lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
5. To make the wedges, wash and pat dry the sweet potatoes, then slice lengthways into wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then place on a baking tray and cook for approx. 20 minutes, turning halfway.
If you want to change up the recipe, try adding some herbs or grated parmesan to the breadcrumbs. You can also give the wedges a kick by adding some chilli powder or smoked paprika when you’re seasoning them. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these fish goujons ahead of time?
Yes – you can coat the fish strips in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and keep them covered in the fridge for a few hours before baking. This makes them handy for a quick weeknight dinner.
Can I freeze homemade fish goujons?
You can freeze them once crumbed but before baking. Lay them flat on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I serve with fish goujons besides sweet potato wedges?
Regular potato wedges, mashed potato, peas, sweetcorn or a simple side salad all work well alongside these goujons.
Can I use a different type of fish?
Yes, any firm white fish fillet works well, such as cod, haddock or pollock. Avoid fish that flakes too easily, as it can be tricky to coat and hold together.
