Chef notes
We almost always have crackers in the house and using them to transform flaky fish into crispy finger food is a huge hit with the kiddos!
Technique tip: If you don't have a food processor, place crackers in a freezer bag and smash them with a heavy jar.
Swap option: If you don't have crackers, you could use breadcrumbs or panko.
