Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the quick tartar sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup minced pickles, about two small pickles diced
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Pinch of salt and pepper
DAD ADD: Chili Malt Vinegar
1/4 cup malt vinegar
1 tablespoon chili oil
For the fish fingers:
1 pound firm, skinless white fish, such as cod, pollack, or haddock (ask the fishmonger to skin the fish, if needed)
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, whisked
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Make the chili malt vinegar: Stir the malt vinegar and chili oil together in a small bowl. You can use the mix as a dip for fish sticks or French fries or also lightly brush it on freshly fried fish sticks.
  • Heat the oil: Over medium heat, heat enough oil in a skillet to fill the the skillet about 1 1/2- to 2-inches deep. (I use about two cups of oil in my large skillet.) The oil doesn't need to completely cover the fish sticks. The oil is ready when you can add a few breadcrumbs and they sizzle immediately and float to the top.

1 large egg, lightly beaten
coarse salt and pepper
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs tilapia fillets, cut into wide strips (see note, above)
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
2 teaspoons prepared white horseradish

Steps:

  • To make fish sticks, cut tilapia fillets in half lengthwise down center line. Halve again lengthwise, then crosswise.
  • 1. Preheat oven to 475, with racks in top and bottom third. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil; set aside.
  • 2. Place egg in a wide shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, combine panko, Old Bay, and oil. Dip tilapia into egg, shaking off excess, then into panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on prepared baking sheets.

Tips:

  • Choose firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia for best results.
  • For a crispy coating, ensure the fish is dry before dipping it in the egg mixture and panko crumbs.
  • Use a shallow dish for dredging the fish in the egg mixture and panko crumbs to ensure even coating.
  • Press the panko crumbs firmly onto the fish to help them adhere.
  • For added crispiness, double-coat the fish in the egg mixture and panko crumbs.
  • Shallow-frying is the recommended method for cooking the fish sticks to achieve a golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
  • Use a deep fryer or large saucepan with enough oil to cover the fish sticks halfway.
  • Maintain the oil temperature around 350°F (175°C) for even cooking and to prevent burning.
  • Cook the fish sticks in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure they cook evenly.
  • Drain the fish sticks on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.

Crispy panko-breaded fish sticks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or snack. By following these tips, you can create perfectly crispy and tender fish sticks that are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ketchup, or ranch dressing, for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
