Crispy Tilapia Sticks is a delicious crispy flavorful tilapia fillet dish. The fish is seasoned and dredged in a beading of Panko breadcrumbs, then deep fried until crispy. Crispy Tilapia Sticks makes a delicious appetizer and I think that it goes well with fresh homemade ranch dressing.
This Tilapia sticks recipe was from my mom. She made the entire thing while I salivate and wait for it to be done. I was whipping-up some fresh homemade ranch in anticipation of the dish that I will soon be devouring. I can say that even though this dish is really simple, it tasted good and the texture is just perfect.
I know that most of us will say and think that nothing beats our mom’s cooking. I still think the same up to now. She was the reason why I got interested in the kitchen and all things related to food and cooking, in the first place — and she still continues to perform her magical cooking tricks to this day. I am really glad that she came here in the US to visit us.
Crispy Tilapia Sticks also goes well as a main dish. If I will eat this with rice, my preference is to have a dip made-up of soy sauce and lemon or calamansi (or simply Toyomansi).
