Set Up Breading Station
Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Bread the Fish
Coat each fish stick first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press down gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere.
Frying the Fish Sticks

Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Fry the Fish Sticks
Carefully add the breaded fish sticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Keep Warm
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish sticks from the oil and drain on paper towels. Keep warm in an oven set to low heat while frying the remaining pieces.
Preparing the Dipping Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, and chopped dill pickles until well combined.
