Have you heard of Swai? Well, I had no idea what it was when I first saw it at an Asian grocery store last summer when I was in Minnesota. It was $2.99 a pound and so I decided to give it a try. Was I ever surprised by the light and flaky texture with a very mild flavor. We breaded it with Panko and it was simply amazing! You can...

BREADED FISH STICKS
4 swai fillets (approximately 1 1/2 -2 pounds), thawed
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c flour
1 c panko bread crumbs
1 Tbsp sweet heat blend, optional*
olive oil
butter
salt and pepper to taste
*if you do not use the sweet heat blend, you can add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper to panko and flour mixture.
SWEET HEAT BLEND SEASONING*
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp granulated onion
1/4 tsp chili powder, optional
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp dried cilantro
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp tsp salt
1/4 tsp tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Combine flour and 1 tbsp Sweet Heat Blend into a gallon sized ziptop bag. This will cut down the mess! Set aside.
  • 2. Using paper towels, pat your fish to remove excess liquid. The drier you can get your fish, the better that breading will stick.
  • 3. Cut each fillet into four pieces (16 total), dip in egg and then place three pieces at a time in Panko mixture bag. Seal bag shut and shake. Press the breading into the fish. Remove and place in a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining fillets.
  • 4. Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in a non-stick frying pan until bubbling and hot.
  • 5. Place the breaded fish sticks into pan fry until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan. You may have to make two or three batches. Remove and place on paper towel-lined plate to absorb any extra oil. Sprinkle lightly with additional salt after you remove from pan (optional).
  • 6. Serve with tartar sauce or sweet chili sauce depending on your preference. Enjoy!

I thought these fish sticks were just okay. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of fish.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish sticks turned out soggy. I think I will try following the recipe more carefully next time.

I found that the breading fell off the fish when I was cooking it. I think I will try using a different type of breadcrumb next time.

These fish sticks were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I will try baking them next time.

These fish sticks were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The panko breading was perfect and added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
