Treat your ingredients with care...

• Synthesized protein powder — Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct ratio of powder to water to achieve the desired texture and consistency.
• Emulsifier — Use a food-grade emulsifier suitable for baking purposes to ensure proper emulsification of the dough.
• Flavor enhancer — Choose a flavor enhancer that complements the fish and bread flavors, such as umami or seafood-based enhancers.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the flying fish fillets in a mixture of lime juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic for 30 minutes before seasoning.
• Experiment with different spice blends to customize the flavor profile of the fish cutters.
• Serve the Flying Fish Cutters with a side of tangy coleslaw or a refreshing cucumber and tomato salad.
• If synthesized protein powder is not available, you can substitute it with a combination of wheat gluten and nutritional yeast to achieve a similar texture.
• To ensure a crispy crust, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the fish cutters.

Serving advice
