Fish stick fun!


For lunch we had these crispy breaded fish filets inspired by a chapter out of this book.
It was super easy, I don't know how I could have ever bought fish sticks in a box before.
First I got four talapia filets, cod would be nice aswell, cut them in long strips and set them aside.
Get your breading station ready by first beating 4 eggs together with a splash of milk in a shallow bowl, then in another bowl put 1 cup flour with salt and pepper and any other spices you might like (I like Tony Zacheries) , In another bowl put one cup of whole wheat bread crumbs.
{It is so easy to make your own bread crumbs, simply toast a couple slices of ww bread, then blend them up in the food processor.}
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Cover the bottom of your skillet with a thin layer of oil and wait until it is hot, testing with a few bread crumbs, whne it sizzles then it is ready.
In your breading station dredge fish in flour first, then egg mixture, then bread crumbs. Place gently in hot oiled skillet, and cook on each side for 2 or 3 minutes until browned. When both sides are brown place on greased baking pan and place in oven for 10 minutes. Keep watch as some ovens can cook faster than others, you don't want it to over cook so stay close.
We had our fish "sticks" with veggie chips and fresh fruit, and of course ketchup for dipping!
