Cornmeal-Crusted Fish Sticks image

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.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large egg whites
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound skinless tilapia fillets, cut into 1-by-3-inch strips
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil
Ketchup, for serving

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.

I didn't have any cornmeal so I used breadcrumbs instead. The fish sticks still turned out great.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The fish sticks were soggy and the cornmeal crust was bland.

These fish sticks were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The cornmeal crust added a nice flavor and texture.
