In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and white pepper. Seal the bag and shake. Add the fish and shake to coat.

Put the eggs and panko in separate shallow bowls. Dip the fish in the egg and then in the panko. Transfer the fish to a wax paper-lined platter.
