  • Cut the tilapia into strips that are about 1 inch wide. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the tilapia strips with your favorite spices. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Coat the tilapia strips in a thin layer of flour. This will help them crisp up in the pan.
  • Pan-fry the tilapia strips in a hot skillet until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be sure to not overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the tilapia from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the tilapia strips with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
