Equipment

  • Chef Knife

Method
 

  1. Cut Cod into equal ½ in wide strips, think finger size
  2. Place eggs, panko and parmesan, and flour in 3 separate shallow medium bowls.
  3. Season the flour with Bayou City Seasonings All Purpose and season bread crumbs with Bayou City Seasonings Garlic Pepper
  4. Working in batches, dredge fish in flour, shaking off excess. Coat with egg, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Transfer the fish to a plate or baking sheet.
  5. Heat 1 in oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, toss in rosemary and shallot and let those cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes, and then discard.
  6. Working in 2 batches and adding 1/4 cup oil between batches if needed, cook fish until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 – 5 minutes.
  7. Transfer fish sticks to a paper towel-lined plate in a single layer. Season with salt.

Notes

Storage and Rewarming

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Rewarm in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes for the best results.
You can also make these ahead of time and freeze the cooked fish sticks in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Just be sure to allow the fish sticks to cool completely before freezing.
