Fish Sticks Recipe

Directions for Fish Sticks

1. 1

   Prepare the Fish

   Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the fillets into strips about 1 inch wide and 3 to 4 inches long.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in one, beat the eggs in the second, and mix together breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in the third.

3. 3

   Bread the Fish Sticks

   Coat each fish strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place the breaded fish sticks on a plate.

4. 4

   Preheat the Oven

   If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil on the parchment paper.

5. 5

   Cook the Fish Sticks

   Arrange the breaded fish sticks on the prepared baking sheet. If frying, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fish sticks until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. If baking, bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the fish sticks from the oven or skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with lemon wedges and tartar sauce on the side.
