fill a large frying pan about a quarter of the way full with oil. heat at medium high

pat dry your tilapia loins, if they are large you may want to cut them in half for easier cooking. coat the fish in the flour.

whisk together the egg and the mustard. if the mixture seems a little thick you can add a touch of water to it. on another plate mix together the panko, old bay seasoning, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.

dip the tilapia loin into the egg mixture and then into the panko mixture. do this for each loin.

fry in the oil until outsides are golden brown and crunchy.

other types of fish can be used or even chicken. enjoy :)
