Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cut into strips
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 whole Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Cut the white fish fillets into 1-inch wide strips and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk to create an egg wash.
In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest.
Dredge each fish strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the flour-coated fish strip into the egg wash, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring even coating.
Repeat the dredging and coating process for all fish strips and place them on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the fish strips into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish sticks are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked fish sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fish sticks hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
