Step by Step Method

Step 1

Season the flour with salt and pepper and your favorite spices and herbs, then

Step 2

Season the beaten eggs with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Working with 1 piece of fish at a time, gently coat the fish with the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten egg, coating it well. Finish the fish stick by rolling the sole in the bread crumbs. Repeat.

Step 4

Heat about 1/2 to 3/4 inch oil in a large, deep-sided skillet until hot but not smoking.

Step 5

Fry the fish strips in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Transfer the fish sticks to paper towels to drain.
