  • Description: This easy, inexpensive, and incredibly tasty fish stick batter recipe is perfect for a quick and delightful meal. Serve it with a homemade tartar sauce made by mixing mayo and sweet pickle relish. It’s kid-friendly, deep-fried, and ready in less than 30 minutes!

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Eggs 2
Salt 1 tsp
Pepper 1/2 tsp
Flour 1 cup
Milk 3/4 cup
Baking Powder 1 tsp
Lemon Juice 1 tbsp
Canola Oil As needed
Flour (for coating) 1/2 cup

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Before you start, gather all the ingredients and equipment needed.
    • Cut the fish into sticks or bite-sized pieces, if not already done.
  2. Mix the Batter:

    • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them using an electric mixer until fluffy.
    • Add salt, pepper, flour, milk, baking powder, and lemon juice to the beaten eggs.
    • Continue mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  3. Optional Coating:

    • If desired, you can cover the fish fillets with flour before dipping them into the batter. This adds an extra crispy texture to the fish sticks.
  4. Dip the Fish:

    • Dip the cut-up fish pieces into the prepared batter, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
  5. Frying:

    • Heat canola oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350Β°F (175Β°C).
    • Carefully place the battered fish sticks into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
    • Fry the fish sticks until they turn golden brown and crispy, typically for about 3-6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
  6. Drain and Serve:

    • Once the fish sticks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.
    • Allow the excess oil to drain off.
    • Serve the crispy fish sticks hot, alongside your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce made by mixing mayo and sweet pickle relish.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of your favorite herbs or spices to the batter, such as paprika, garlic powder, or dill.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing excess oil.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can bake the fish sticks in the oven instead of frying them. Simply preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C), place the battered fish sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the fish sticks with a side of crispy French fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be used with various types of fish, such as cod, tilapia, or haddock.

Enjoy your homemade crispy fish sticks! 🎣🍟
