Instructions
Pulse the panko in a food processor until the crumb is fairly fine, then transfer it to a wide dish.
Put the flour in another wide dish. Beat the eggs in a third wide dish. Set aside.
Cut the fish into fat, evenly thick sticks about 3/4 inch thick by 3 inches long. Season them all over with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish, one piece at a time, first in the flour, then in the eggs, then in the panko. If you like, set the fish sticks on a wire rack to rest as you bread them, up to an hour before frying them.
Add enough oil to a large cast-iron skillet to reach a depth of 1–2 inches.
Heat the oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking, ideally to a temperature of 350°F (use a candy thermometer to check the temperature).
Working in batches to avoid crowding the skillet, fry the fish sticks in the hot oil until golden brown all over, 5–6 minutes.
Transfer the fish sticks with metal tongs or a slotted spatula to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain. Season with salt while still hot.
Serve with lemon wedges and/or tartar sauce.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 26 dollars per bottle.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
A pale straw yellow. Clean, crisp fragrance with intense yet elegant hints of quince. Fresh, harmonious fruit set off by slight sweetness with a long finish full of delicate, tangy flavor.
