   • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them using an electric mixer until fluffy.
   • Add salt, pepper, flour, milk, baking powder, and lemon juice to the beaten eggs.
   • Continue mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth.

3. 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.

4. Dip the Fish:

   • Dip the cut-up fish pieces into the prepared batter, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.

5. Frying:

   • Heat canola oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°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.

6. 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 400°F (200°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.
