Homemade Fish Sticks


Instead of frozen fish sticks that have been in the freezer section for who knows how long how about making your own!  It is super easy and super tasty.  I bread my fish sticks with panko breadcrumbs readily available in most supermarkets.   They are a Japanese bread crumb made from bread without crust so they have a crispier texture and stay crisp longer.  They bake well and still remain crispy the key to yummy fish sticks.  I also attached a link to kids safe seafood to determine which fish is best to use and has the least amount of mercury.  I prefer tilapia lowest in mercury, readily available and a mild tasting fish that takes on the flavor of whatever ingredients you use.  You can make a batch of them ahead of time and store them in your freezer for future meals.  Trust me these are much tastier and healthier than any store bought brand!
