Ingredients
- 1 pound White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), cut into strips
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 whole Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Cut the white fish fillets into 1-inch wide strips and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk to create an egg wash.
Step 4
In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest.
Step 5
Dredge each fish strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 6
Dip the flour-coated fish strip into the egg wash, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring even coating.
Step 7
Repeat the dredging and coating process for all fish strips and place them on a plate.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
Carefully place the fish strips into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 10
Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish sticks are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11
Transfer the cooked fish sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 12
Serve the crispy fish sticks hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
