Step 1
Cut the 1 lb fish fillets into 3-inch long strips, about 1 inch wide. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: one with 0.5 cup flour, one with 2 beaten eggs, and one with 1.5 cups panko mixed with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp pepper.
Step 3
Dredge each fish strip in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg, then press into the panko mixture until fully coated.
Step 4
Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Working in batches, add the fish sticks in a single layer without crowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 6
Transfer cooked fish sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining fish, adding more oil if needed.
Step 7
Serve hot with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or ketchup.
