Preparation
Preheat oven to 205°C.
In a small bowl, mix American Garden Bread Crumbs Plain with salt, paprika, and pepper.
Place flour in one bowl and beaten egg in another.
Dip fish strips in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess.
Next, dip floured fish in beaten egg.
Finally, coat with the seasoned bread crumb mixture, patting gently to help coating stick.
Place prepared fish sticks on a baking tray lightly coated with butter.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, turning once halfway through cooking.
Serve hot with American Garden U.S. Ketchup for dipping.
The Secret to Perfect Crispiness
The three-step coating is key to crispy fish sticks. First, a light flour dust helps the egg stick. Then, the egg binds the final layer of American Garden Bread Crumbs Plain, seasoned with paprika, salt, and pepper. This method gives the fish a crispy outside and keeps it moist inside for the perfect texture.
Storage Tips
These homemade fish sticks taste best right out of the oven. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 177°C oven for 5–7 minutes to bring back the crunch. You can also freeze the uncooked sticks, just place them on a tray to freeze, then move them to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months.
