CORNMEAL-CRUSTED FISH STICKS
Cornmeal gives the coating great texture and crunch. Any firm white-fleshed fish can be substituted for the tilapia; we like cod, catfish, or haddock.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil; fit another with a wire rack. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; add fish, and toss to coat. In another large bowl, combine cornmeal and flour; season with salt and pepper.
- Working in batches, lift fish from egg-white mixture (letting excess drip off), and dredge in cornmeal mixture, patting to adhere; transfer to foil-lined sheet.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Working in batches, cook fish until golden brown and opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes, turning once (if fish is browning too quickly, reduce heat). Transfer to wire rack, and keep warm in oven while remaining fish cooks. Serve with ketchup.

Cut tilapia fillets into 1/2 inch strips. Dredge strips in flour mixture; dip in egg white and finally dip into the second flour mixture. Place the strip on a baking sheet , cover and place in the refrigerator so that the coating could adhere. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Remove the pan from the oven, turn the fish over, spray again, and return to the oven. Bake until crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish. Firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia are best for fish sticks. They will hold their shape well during frying.
- Cut the fish into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Make sure the fish is dry before coating it. This will help the coating adhere to the fish.
- Use a light touch when coating the fish. A thick coating will make the fish sticks greasy.
- Fry the fish sticks until they are golden brown and flaky. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the fish sticks with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, ketchup, or ranch dressing are all good options.
