CRISPY FISH FINGERS
Steps:
- Put the bread in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until bread crumbs form. Toast the crumbs in a large, dry nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat, stirring frequently and breaking up the crumbs with a spoon if they begin to stick together, until crisp and golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. On a plate, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Cut the fillets into 4 by 1-inch strips. A few pieces at a time, dip the fish into the flour mixture, dusting off the excess. Dip the fish in the egg and then the bread crumbs. Arrange on the baking sheet and continue until all of the fish is breaded. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chives and cayenne, if using. Season, to taste, with freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:
- Make the chili malt vinegar: Stir the malt vinegar and chili oil together in a small bowl. You can use the mix as a dip for fish sticks or French fries or also lightly brush it on freshly fried fish sticks.
- Heat the oil: Over medium heat, heat enough oil in a skillet to fill the the skillet about 1 1/2- to 2-inches deep. (I use about two cups of oil in my large skillet.) The oil doesn't need to completely cover the fish sticks. The oil is ready when you can add a few breadcrumbs and they sizzle immediately and float to the top.

Steps:
- Cut fish fillets into long diagonal strips, each measuring about 3/4 inch wide.
- Break eggs into a shallow dish and beat well with a fork. Place bread crumbs in another shallow dish. Put flour, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top bag.
- Dip fish strips in egg, turning to coat well. Place on a plate and then shake a few at a time in the bag of seasoned flour. Dip in egg again and then in bread crumbs, turning to coat well. Place on a tray in a single layer, not touching, and let the coating set for at least 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/2 inch oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry fish strips in batches (taking care not to overcrowd the pan) in the hot oil for about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, turning once. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and repeat to fry remaining strips.
- Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.

Tips:
- Use fresh fish fillets whenever possible. Frozen fillets can be used, but they should be thawed completely before cooking.
- Choose a mild-flavored fish, such as cod, halibut, or tilapia. If you are using a stronger-flavored fish, such as salmon or tuna, you may want to adjust the seasonings in the breading.
- Make sure the fish fillets are completely dry before breading them. This will help the breading adhere to the fish.
- Use a light touch when breading the fish. Don't press the breading into the fish, or it will become too dense.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the fish. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fish is added, but not so hot that it smokes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Fry the fish in batches, if necessary. Don't try to fry too much fish at once, or the oil temperature will drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Drain the fish on paper towels before serving. This will help remove any excess oil.
Conclusion:
Crispy crumbed fish fingers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make crispy crumbed fish fingers that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
