How To Make Homemade Fish Sticks

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Panko provides a lighter, crunchier texture.

cooking oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier but may cost more.

white fish fillets

🥗Healthier: baked tofu

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Baked tofu offers a plant-based option.

Cut the cod fillets into strips and set aside.

Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl and season with some pepper and salt.

Add the parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, lemon peel, paprika, and thyme to the breadcrumbs and mix them together thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, pour in the egg and the cream and beat them together with a fork.

Place the flour in a bowl.

Coat the fish with the flour, then dip it into the egg and cream mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over moderate heat.

When the oil is hot, place the fish fingers in the pan and turn them over, cooking until the fish flakes easily and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Remove the fish fingers with a slotted spoon and place them on kitchen paper to drain off any excess oil.

Place the fish fingers on plates and serve with lemon wedges and chips.
