Fish Sticks



Okay, so those of you that know me, know I HATE and I do mean H-A-T-E fish!!! I've tried it, but just don't like it! So for me to have a fish recipe up here, ya know I am cooking it for my hubby and munchkins!!!

Which they all LOVED!!!! It is messy and took some work, but I guess it was worth it! :)


I made these especially for my hubby, he has endured some recipes that were not his fav, so I made something for him, because I am nice and sweet and loving like that! :)



I used 2 different types of fish, Cod and Haddock. I cheated and got the frozen fillets, they were on sale, so I used those instead of getting the fresh from the counter.


Place some flour in a bowl/plate


Parmesan cheese...


Add the bread crumbs with the cheese. You can make your own bread crumbs, but I totally cheated and bought these! (ok, so my hubby bought them for me because I forgot to pick them up!)


Mix it together...


Cut your fish into "sticks"


Drop the fish into the flour



Drop the flour covered fish into the beaten eggs




Drop the flour, egg covered piece of fish into the bread crumb and Parmesan cheese mixture...



Your hands get a TAD bit messy!!!


Finished product!


Fish Sticks

1/4 cup flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 pounds white fish fillets, such as haddock, cod, or pollack
1 cup bread crumbs (you can decide if you want to make them or use store bought)
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the fish fillets into "sticks". Make them whatever size you want, but try to make them all the same size.
Put the flour in a bowl/plate, and beat the eggs and place those in a different bowl/plate. Mix the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together in a separate bowl/plate.
Place the fish in the flour and roll around to coat. Then place the flour coated fish in the beaten egg. Roll it around to coat, then place the fish stick into the Parmesan cheese and bread crumb mixture. Roll around to coat. Place it on a cookie/baking sheet pan/stone.
Bake for 10-15 minutes turning once until golden brown on the outside. (you can also fry these in some oil until golden brown)
Serve with tartar sauce.

*I really didn't measure the cheese or bread crumbs, so I may have had more.
I cooked mine for 15-20 minutes.
If you fry them, fry a few at a time and make sure you turn them over half way through cooking.
I also served this with spaghetti sauce. You could serve it with salsa as well.

I always make my own tartar sauce... Here's how I make it...
Miracle whip or mayo
Relish, we use sweet, but you could use dill if that's what you like

Mix it up and serve!

*I don't measure this, I just guess, but here's a pic to help! :)
