Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (such as cod, pollock, or haddock)
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 150 grams bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Cut the white fish fillets into strips, each about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long, and set aside.
In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour.
In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together until fully combined.
In a third shallow dish, mix the bread crumbs with paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
While the oil heats, dredge each fish strip in flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured fish strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated fish strip into the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere to all sides.
Repeat the dredging process for all fish strips, placing them on a plate in a single layer.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few fish sticks into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fish sticks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked fish sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining fish sticks, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent.
Serve the crispy fried fish sticks immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and lemon wedges.
