Cut fish fillets into pieces lengthwise, ensuring they are not too thick or too thin.

Season fish pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill, mixing well.

Prepare a breading station with corn starch, egg, and panko breadcrumbs, seasoning each with salt.

Dredge fish pieces in corn starch, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

Use one hand for dry ingredients and the other for the egg to avoid sticky fingers.

Repeat the breading process for all fish pieces.

Season potatoes with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt, then mix with oil.

Cook the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer.

Heat oil in a deep fryer until up to temperature, then carefully add fish pieces, laying them away from yourself to avoid burns.

Fry fish fingers in batches of four, cooking until they are nice and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove fish fingers and let them drip on a wire rack.

Serve fish fingers with Tartar sauce, seasoned potatoes, broccoli, and a side of lemon.
