- Continue mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
-
Optional Coating:
- If desired, you can cover the fish fillets with flour before dipping them into the batter. This adds an extra crispy texture to the fish sticks.
-
Dip the Fish:
- Dip the cut-up fish pieces into the prepared batter, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
-
Frying:
- Heat canola oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- Carefully place the battered fish sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the fish sticks until they turn golden brown and crispy, typically for about 3-6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once the fish sticks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Allow the excess oil to drain off.
- Serve the crispy fish sticks hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce made by mixing mayo and sweet pickle relish.

Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of your favorite herbs or spices to the batter, such as paprika, garlic powder, or dill.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing excess oil.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can bake the fish sticks in the oven instead of frying them. Simply preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C), place the battered fish sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the fish sticks with a side of crispy French fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- This recipe is versatile and can be used with various types of fish, such as cod, tilapia, or haddock.
