Cut your fish fillets into sticks. Each fillet should give you about 7-8 sticks. Each fish stick should be about the size of a finger, 4 inches long by 1 inch wide. Toward the tail of the fillet the sticks will be thinner. Sprinkle each fish stick with garlic salt and black pepper.

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Beat the eggs and water in a shallow dish. Put the bread crumbs, cornmeal and paprika into another shallow dish and mix thoroughly. Dip each fish stick in egg and then coat with the bread crumb mixture.

Place your fish sticks gently into the hot oil, always facing them away from you so not to get splashed with oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Turn and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. When done, remove the fish sticks to a baking pan lined with parchment paper to drain. Sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Recipe makes 4 servings.
