Look for thicker fish fillets, which will give you the ideal breading-to-fish ratio.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

2 large eggs, beaten to blend
2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound flounder or cod fillets, sliced crosswise into 3/4"-wide strips
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
  1. Step 1

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

    Step 2

    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.

    Step 3

    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.

    Step 4

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

    Step 5

    DO AHEAD:Fish sticks can be breaded 2 days ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 months. Fish sticks can be cooked from frozen (cooking time will be slightly longer).

  • Fradie from Manasquan, N.J... I can tell you're not a real fish eater, yeah, catfish is great breaded, but so are all other fish, in addition to anyway you wish to fix them. I like crispy-crunchy fish, these are great. For you, try your flounder cooked in foil, cut slits to the bone in your fish, squeeze key lime juice liberally all over fish, season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, a pinch of oregano, onion rings, and two-three tablespoons butter. Bake at 350 deg for about 20-25 min. Broth from baked fish is excellent on baked potatoes.

  • Yuk! Breading and frying is best left to catfish. Flounder is best baked.

  • Watch the salt, and add some other seasoning of your choice. Otherwise, messy, but very good. I served it with a Wasabi sauce and rice. I had flounder to use, so it served the purpose.
