Preparation:
In small bowl,combine sour cream, salad dressing, and celery; mix, then cover and refrigerate. Cut the fish crosswise into 1-inch wide sticks.
On shallot plate, combine flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. In a bowl, beat egg with hot sauce. And on another shallow plate, combine crumbs and chili powder.
Dip the fish sticks first in flour mixture, then in egg mixture, then into bread crumb mixture. Place on wire rack.
