Bread the Fish
Take each fish stick, first dredge it in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere. Repeat this for all fish sticks.
Cooking

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking.

Fry the Fish Sticks
Carefully add the breaded fish sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fish sticks onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
