Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 400° F. Cut the fish into 3-by-½-inch-thick sticks (about 24). In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, oil, paprika, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
2. Coat the fish sticks in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crisp and opaque throughout, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with ketchup or tartar sauce, if desired.
