Panko Bread Crumbs

Crunchy-coated haddock fingers are made with panko bread crumbs. Many times in cooking a crispy, crunchy coating is a must. If you don’t want to make something deep fried and deal with a pot of hot oil, the answer is an easy one, use panko bread crumbs.

A Word About Panko

Japanese bread crumbs have a coarse texture that allows them to become crisp and have the same texture as deep-fried foods even if they’re baked or toasted. Panko crumbs can be used as a breading for shrimp, pork and chicken, as well as a topping for macaroni and cheese, gratins and an ingredient in stuffing for artichokes to stuffed clams.

Use Like Regular Bread Crumbs

Use panko bread crumbs as you would regular bread crumbs in all of your favorite recipes. Panko bread crumbs are lighter, flakier and will give you crispier coatings, crunchier toppings for casseroles and lighter meatloaf, crab cakes and meatballs. You won’t be able to resist these delicious homemade fish fingers. Light and flaky on the inside and crispy, crunchy on the outside. You’ll be happy to pick these up with your fingers!
