Yeah, you read that right. Good ol' fish sticks. My friend gave me a great recipe and we made some a couple weekends ago. SO good...(and I grew up dousing my fish sticks in ketchup just to get them down.) These are great and the kids LOVE them! Serve with a side of veggies or a fresh salad.
At Costco, you can buy a bag of frozen Mahi Mahi fish. They are individually sealed so you can use as much or as little as you need. Light tasting fish.
Fish Sticks:
Ingredients:
Mahi Mahi (or other light white fish)
2 eggs beaten
1-2 cups Panko bread crumbs (Japanese...find them in the Asian aisle)
Peanut Oil
To thaw fish, soak in cold water in a bowl until thawed.
Beat eggs in a shallow dish, set aside. In another shallow dish, add Panko. Take your fish and cut into 2 to 3 finger thick pieces (since each portion is varied size, it'll change how many "sticks" you get) Use the width of one of your fingers to gage where to cut.
Heat 1/2 cup Peanut Oil (you may need to add more during cooking) in a large skillet using moderate heat.
Dip the fish in the egg, then into the Panko. Place fish into oil and cook until nicely browned.
Here's a great dip for the fish:
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
- 2 teaspoons prepared white horseradish
Combine all together and serve with fish sticks.
