This post also could have been titled: Double-dipped Coconut Fish Nuggets and Eggplant Fries
I know, fish nuggets and eggplant fries don’t sound like the most delectable dinner you’ve ever had, but I promise this twist on traditional fish and chips is delicious!
The best part? You can win the coconut I used as the coating for the fish nuggets! Which by the way remind me of the fish sticks I used to eat as a kid, the only way I would eat fish (dipped in LOTS of ketchup). I love the texture and consistency of this shredded coconut by Tropical Traditions. It’s really fine and made for a great coating, I didn’t need any flour! I highly recommend it for all of your coconut needs!

I love coconut oil, but I mainly use it for beauty purposes! I should really try cooking with it!

I would try to your recipe for the fish nuggets and also use it in my baked goods.
your fish nuggets sound wonderful! One thing I might try is a recipe I saw recently for breakfast/energy/snack bars.

Sounds delicious!
I recently ordered white eggplant seeds to grow in our home garden. This recipe sounds like a winner. I particularly like that I don’t need breading. Our family of six use virgin coconut oil in green smoothies, We also use it on our skin
as a moisturizer.
That’s awesome! I would love to grow eggplant someday!
I’d make granola!

I would use coconut in trail mix, cooking and baking, would love to try your recipe. I also like to keep coconut in my emergency food supplies.
Ooh, trail mix with coconut sounds so good!
I just read how to make coconut butter out of shredded coconut–I’d love to try it!
I’d use it in my oatmeal. I like dark chocolate chips, coconut and sliced almonds.

I would make cakes and pies with it. My Dad would probably want to use it in his ‘Famous Pecan Candy’
I would use this for breading, desserts and making coconut milk.
I might make some home made “breakfast cereal”–granola, really, but made for eating as breakfast,
I love those coconut and chocolate drop cookies..yummy!
I think the coconut would be great in a granola bar recipe.
I’d like to try my hand a making coconut milk
My husband loves coconut in his porriage
Maybe this would be good for a coconut shrimp recipe.
I would use it in homemade granola.
