Steps:
- PREP: Cut fillets into 1/2-inch strips and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Set aside. Place flour in shallow pan, set aside. Place eggwash into another shallow pan and set that aside. Mix breadcrumbs (or panko) and optional almonds and place into yet another shallow pan.
- Dredge strips of cod in flour shaking off excess. Dip next in eggwash and then in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down lightly into breading to coat. Set coated fish on waxed paper-lined sheet pan.
- In a large skillet heat butter and oil over moderate heat. Carefully add the coated fish strips and cook about 2-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Do in batches if necessary. Transfer fish strips to paper towels to drain.
Tips:
- Use firm-fleshed fish, such as cod, halibut, or tilapia, for best results.
- Cut the fish into even-sized sticks to ensure even cooking.
- Season the fish sticks with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices before coating them.
- Use a light hand when coating the fish sticks in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs to prevent them from becoming too thick.
- For extra crispy fish sticks, double-coat them in the flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C) before frying the fish sticks to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Fry the fish sticks in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
- Drain the fish sticks on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the fish sticks with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce.
