Dry the fish filets thoroughly with paper towels. Heat oil to quite hot in large skillet. Dip the filets first in the beaten eggs and then in the panko crumbs and place in hot skillet.
Lightly fry breaded fish for about 2-3 minutes and then turn and fry on the other side. Transfer the fish to a plate and serve with a side of jicama salad/slaw and the extra jerk aioli. To use in a fish sandwich, spread the aioli on heated buns, add the breaded fish on top of the bun and top the fish with the jicama slaw.
