Instructions
Cut your fish into sticks that are roughly 3 inches long and ¾ inch square.
Season the fish strips with salt and pepper.
In each of three bowls add: a cup of flour and your seasoning of choice; three eggs, lightly beaten; 2 cups of panko.
Dredge each piece of fish in the seasoned flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko. Place breaded fish on a baking sheet.
Heat ¼ inch of canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
When the oil is nice and hot, add the breaded fish in a single layer, without overcrowding. Cook for two minutes, until golden brown.
Flip the fish pieces and fry for another two minutes on the other side.
Remove the fish to a paper-lined baking sheet to drain.
Serve with tartar sauce.
To reheat from frozen, bake in a 400° oven for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time.
