CRISPY HOMEMADE FISH STICKS RECIPE
Easy homemade fish sticks that are perfectly tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. And you'll love how flavorful they are, thanks to a little seasoning and the Parmesan crust! You can make these with a white firm fish or even with salmon for a little more Omega-3! Be sure to watch my video.

Steps:
- Heat your oven to 450 degrees F.
- Pat fish fillet dry and season with kosher salt on both sides. Cut the fish fillet into pieces or sticks (1 to 1 1/2-inch thick and about 3-inch long).
- In a small bowl, combine black pepper, dried oregano, and paprika. Season fish sticks on both sides with the spice mixture.
- Make a dredging station. Place flour in a shallow dish. Place the egg wash in a deeper dish or bowl next to the flour dish. And in another dish, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan and lemon zest. Place next to the dish with the egg wash.
- Now coat the fish. Take a fish stick and dip it in the flour to coat both sides; shake excess flour off. Then dip the fish stick in the egg wash, and then in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture. Pat to help the coating adhere to the fish stick. Repeat until all the fish sticks have been coated.
- Arrange coated fish sticks on an oiled baking sheet. Brush the tops of the fish sticks with a little extra virgin olive oil (you'll want to basically dab the salmon fish sticks with the oil so that you don't end up removing the coating).
- Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the heated oven. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes. If the fish sticks need more color still, place them under the broiler very briefly (watch carefully) until fish sticks gain a nice golden brown color.
- Finish with lemon zest and fresh lemon juice. Garnish with parsley.
- Serve with your favorite sauce for dipping. I used tahini sauce here, but tzatziki sauce would be great as well. Add a big salad and call it dinner (I especially like Mediterranean white bean salad or Greek salad with these salmon fish sticks

Steps:
- Fill a large deep pot halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a sheet pan and set aside.
- For the zucchini fries: Add the milk and lemon juice to a bowl and mix. Add the cornstarch and salt to a separate bowl and mix.
- Place the zucchini batons first in the milk and then in the cornstarch and toss to coat.
- Carefully add the zucchini batons to the hot oil in 2 batches and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Remove to the prepared wire rack and sprinkle with sea salt. Keep warm in the oven while you make the fish goujons.
- For the fish goujons: Place 1/2 cup of the flour in a shallow dish, add 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper, then mix.
- Combine the cornstarch, baking powder, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, then whisk together. Slowly add the brown ale and mix until just combined.
- Dredge the fish, one piece at a time, in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the batter, coating well. Lower the fish into the hot oil in 2 batches and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch, flipping halfway. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with sea salt.
- To serve, place the goujons on one end of a platter or board. Remove the fries from the oven and arrange on the other end.
- Place a ramekin of tartare sauce on the platter, then garnish with lemon wedges and the parsley to serve.
CRISPY FISH STICKS
After experimenting for a while, I came up with the closest recipe in creating the best fish-sticks every-one will love, including picky eaters. Leftover or old bread will also come to good use. However, the speedy-chefs can also use store-bought breadcrumbs, if more convenient for them.

Steps:
- Mix the first 4 ingredients in a shallow plate and set aside.
- Cut the tilapia fillets in long sticks with a width of about 1 inch. Marinate them in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Store meanwhile in the fridge. Then cover your cutting board with aluminum foil.
- Cut away the thick crusts of the bread. Then, tear the bread in coarse pieces and fill your food-processor or blender with it. Blend it to medium sized breadcrumbs.
- Toast your fresh breadcrumbs for 1-2 minutes at 400°F This is necessary to evaporate most of the water.for a better crunchy skin. Remove and let it cool of and toss it a bit with a fork. Dispose it in another shallow plate.
- Pour a sizable amount of cooking oil in a deep pan, and turn your stove on low heat. Break eggs and whisk in a bowl. Place your marinated fish in front of the board, the flour-mixture next to it. Then follow the eggs and ,the breadcrumbs and finally a bowl of water.
- Now the real deal begins! Lift a piece of fish with 2 forks and drop it into the flour-mix. Wallow the fish until fully covered and shake any excess flour off. Then transfer to the beaten eggs and do the same. At last, transfer to the plate with breadcrumbs and put away the forks in the bowl of water (dirty part in water). Use your hands to tumble and lightly press around the fish until thoroughly covered in the crumbs. Move the fish-stick to the cutting-board and wipe your forks clean with a piece of paper towel. Repeat likewise for the other fish-sticks.
- When done, turn up the heat of your stove to high. The sticks have to rest for about 15 minutes, to get the crust set (otherwise you'll end up with a disaster). So. meanwhile you could clean up the counter in advance.
- The easiest last step: deep-fry the fish-sticks in about 5 minutes to a nice golden-brown colour. Serve with your favourite sauce!

Tips:
- Choose high-quality fish: Use firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or halibut. Fresh or frozen fish can be used, but if using frozen, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Cut the fish into even strips: This will help them cook evenly. Strips should be about 1 inch thick and 3 inches long.
- Season the fish: Sprinkle the fish strips with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before coating.
- Use a light coating: Dip the fish strips in the coating mixture, but don't let them get too thick. A thin coating will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Cook the fish strips until golden brown: Fry the fish strips in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the fish strips hot: Serve the fish sticks immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.
