- 1 cup breadcrumbs

Dredge each piece in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they stick. Place coated fish on a plate.

Heat 0.5 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Fry the fish in a single layer without crowding, cooking until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side.
