Set up three shallow bowls for the breading process. In the first bowl, add the flour and season it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
Breading and Cooking

Bread the Fish Sticks
Take each fish stick, first coat it in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Place the breaded fish sticks on a plate.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.

Fry the Fish Sticks
Carefully place the breaded fish sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cooked fish sticks and drain them on paper towels.
