Create an egg wash by whisking beaten eggs in a bowl. Dipping the floured fish into the egg wash provides a sticky surface for the breadcrumbs to adhere to.

After dipping the fish in beaten eggs, press the breadcrumbs onto the fillets firmly. This ensures they stay in place, creating a delightful crispy texture when you cook the fish.
