Notes

The cooking technique being used is called pan-frying.  This dry-heat cooking method uses a moderate amount of oil.  There should be enough oil in the sauté pan that when the item is placed in the pan it is covered one-third to one-half  of the way with oil.  So depending on the size pan you use you may need to add or decrease the amount of oil to properly pan-fry the cod sticks.
