1/2 cup flour, place on a plate
1 egg, beaten, in bowl

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Season both sides of fish strips with Old Bay Seasoning, lemon pepper, and salt. Dip each fish strip in flour,  egg, and Panko.

Place saucepan over medium high heat. Add vegetable oil, let oil get hot. Cook each fish strip for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and place on paper towel.
