Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Dip each fish strip into the beaten eggs and then coat them with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure that the fish strips are well coated.

Place the coated fish strips on the prepared baking sheet.

Lightly spray the fish sticks with cooking spray. This will help them get crispy and golden brown.
