Ingredients for Fish Sticks

• White Fish: You'll want to use a mild white fish to make fish sticks, like cod, flounder, tilapia, or grouper.
• Flour, Eggs, Breadcrumbs: The crispy breadcrumb coating is made with just a few simple ingredients: flour, eggs, and Panko breadcrumbs (plus a little seasoning).
