Main Ingredients

Dipping Sauce (optional)

Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Cut Fish

    Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut them into finger-sized strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

Set Up Breading Station

  1. 2

    Prepare Breading

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and add the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

Bread the Fish

  1. 3

    Coat Fish

    Take each fish strip and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off before finally coating it in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded fish sticks on a plate.

Fry the Fish Sticks

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Make sure there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.

  2. 5

    Cook 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 cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain and Cool

    Once cooked, transfer the fish sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining fish sticks.

Prepare Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  1. 7

    Mix Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, and lemon juice. Stir well until smooth and set aside.

Serve

  1. 8

    Plate and Enjoy

    Serve the fish sticks hot with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your delicious kids' fish sticks!
