  5. Add ¼ cup of the combined fish fry and chickpea mix to the marinated banana blossoms and mix well using your hands
  6. Grab a handful of the banana blossom mix and form into the shape of your choice (fish stick, nuggets or a filet). Add it to the bowl of fish fry and chickpea flour and press to coat on both sides. Before frying, gently shake off excess flour
  7. Add the vegan fish to the oil and fry for 2 minutes or until brown. The vegan fish will begin to float once ready to be removed
