#3744 - Baked Old Bay Fish Sticks

(by Shirley McNevich)

3 cups cracker crumbs or bread crumbs
1 TBSP Old Bay seasoning (more if you wish)
1/2 tsp. salt
a few grinds of pepper
3 eggs
1 TBSP water
2 1/2 lbs. tilapia fillets (thawed)

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. In one bowl add bread crumbs, Old Bay, fresh ground pepper and salt--stir well. In a second bowl add the eggs and water--beat. Cut the fish fillets into 1" strips. Dip each fish piece into the egg mixture, coat in the cracker mixture, and place on the lined cookie sheet. Repeat with all fish. Bake at 450 degrees 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Optional--you can fry them instead of baking them.
