In second shallow bowl whisk together the eggs and hot sauce.
Take one fish strip at a time and place in the egg mixture and then dredge in the cornmeal mixture and place onto a cooling rack repeat until all are coated.
In a cast Iron skillet on medium-heat, heat skillet and add the olive oil. Then cook 5 coated fish strips at a time, cooking around 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat in cooking in batches adding more oil as needed.
