Transfer them into a baking and spread evenly and bake for 7-10 mins, checking on them periodically making sure they don't burn. As your checking on them in the oven make sure to give them a good stir here and there to get a nice toast throughout.

In a medium bowl mix mayo, greek yogurt, dill pickles, shallot, capers, dill, worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, lemon zest and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Set up a dredging station: in a shallow dish whisk your eggs and water together, in another dish add flour, and in another add breadcrumbs and seasonings .

5 . Stage

Dip each strip of fish into the flour first, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs last. For each step in the process make sure you're getting a good coating with each step. Shaking off any excess .

To fry in a pan, heat your oil up to 375º F in a shallow frying pan ( I like using a cast iron ). Fry them in batches until golden brown . Remove onto a paper towel lined sheet tray or plate to drain any excess oil .

Season with salt as soon as possible.
