Fish Sticks
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Fish
Rinse the white fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into sticks about 1 inch wide and 3-4 inches long.

Bread the Fish Sticks
Take a fish stick and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll the fish stick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Repeat this process for all fish sticks.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil; if it sizzles and bubbles, the oil is hot enough.

Fry the Fish Sticks
Carefully add the breaded fish sticks to the hot 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 cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving

Serve
Serve the hand-breaded fish sticks hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or ketchup.
