My kids are a huge fan of fish sticks but I refuse to give them the prepackaged ones in the freezer section of the market. I decided that I needed to come up with a clean eating version that my kids love and that I am happy to let them eat. I will make a big batch and freeze the leftovers. Super easy midweek quick meal.
Instead of serving with catsup I suggest serving with marinara sauce for dipping or my homemade ranch dressing. (refer to the condiments section of the website for marinara and ranch recipes)
To freeze let fish sticks cool completely then wrap in wax paper and place in a freezer bag. To reheat, place in a 400’ oven on a wire rack and heat through. About 10-12 minutes.
