Crispy Fish Sticks

Ingredients

    2 large eggs, beaten to blend

    2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

    1/4 cup (all-purpose) flour

    500 grams (1lb) flounder or cod fillets, sliced crosswise into 2.5 cms (1 inch) wide strips

    Salt, freshly ground pepper

    3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided

Directions

    Place eggs, panko, and flour in 3 separate shallow medium bowls.

    Season fish with salt and pepper. Working in batches, dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess. Coat with egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer fish to a plate.

    Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches and adding 1/4 cup oil between batches, cook fish until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

    Transfer fish sticks to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.
