Notes

Any firm white fish such as haddock, tilapia, halibut, or even catfish will work.

Try and make your fish the same size for even cooking.

Press panko firmly you want to press the Panko firmly onto your fish so that it coats well.

Don't overcrowd the basket you don't want the breaded fish to be touching.
