Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound White fish fillets (like cod or haddock)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the fish fillets into strips approximately 1x3 inches in size. Pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika.
Dredge each fish strip first in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fish strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Finally, coat the fish strip in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Transfer the coated fish strips to a plate and repeat with the remaining strips.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil is ready when a breadcrumb dropped into the oil sizzles and floats to the surface.
Carefully place the fish sticks into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Cook the fish sticks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fish sticks from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the crispy breaded fish sticks with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
