Spicy Fish Sticks

Labels: { , }

Homemade fish sticks are one of my favourites. They are crunchy, spicy and delicious! If you can't take hot food, then skip the step of preparing chilli sauce and make a tartar or remoulade instead to accompany these fish sticks.

Sauce
  • 2 Cod fillets
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • 3 Garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 Chilli, seeded and chopped
  • 1 stalk Spring onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Sweet potato flour
  • Vegetable oil
  • Handful of arugula to serve
  • 1 tsp Szechuan pepper powder
  • 1 tbsp Chilli oil
  • 1 tbsp Rice wine
  • 1 tbsp Light soya sauce
  • 1 tsp Roasted sesame oil
  1. Rinse and pat the fish fillets dry with kitchen paper. Slice the fillets into 3-inch strips. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish strips to coat with sweet potato flour.
  2. Fill a deep skillet half full with oil and heat to 150C/300F. Lower the prepared fish strips and fry until lightly golden. Increase the temperature to 200C/400F and fry for a further 5 seconds. Remove and drain.
  3. Leave a little bit of oil in the skillet and stir in chopped garlic, chilli, spring onion and all the ingredients of the sauce. Return the fish strips to the skillet and gently stir to combine. Serve them on a bed of arugula.

Looks beautiful and delicious! Really appetizing. I would have to use other white fish fillet, as fresh cod is very expensive over here!

As always, another delicious recipe! I love it! I would be the one to pass on the chili sauce...can't take the heat! :)

I have never made my own fish sticks - in fact for some unknown reason I barely ever cook with fish. But my husband has been craving fish lately so this might be a good route to take!

Roxan 5/1/11 17:07

Angie! The thought of making homemade fish sticks has NEVER crossed my mind before. I've been cutting back on meat lately, but my husband hasn't so fish has been our middle ground. I've been looking for more creative ways of preparing it, so thank you for sharing this with us.

Fabulous! I've definitely outgrown the fish sticks I used to love as a kid, and this recipe is very much for adult palates. Love the spicy kick. Delish.

I love this combination of flavours, very Asian and delicious. And the goodness of fish outweighs the frying, doesn't it? :D

[Reply]
Claudia 6/1/11 02:41

I've never made fish sticks, Angie - these look wonderful - I only know about the frozen "stuff." Now I need to be on the look-out for sweet potato flour - have never seen it. I love how it looks on the arugula.

Angie, I'm always inspired when I visit your site! Homemade fish sticks--that is a BRILLIANt idea!

Biren @ Roti n Rice 6/1/11 03:58

These fish sticks look wonderful! I like that you use sweet potato flour instead of regular flour making it friendly for those on a gluten free diet.

[Reply]

tasteofbeirut 7/1/11 02:36

These fish sticks are easy to make and tasty as well; a far cry from the fish sticks we would get at home, frozen and totally insipid!

[Reply]
Monet 7/1/11 06:06

This looks far better than any plate of fish sticks I've seen! The ingredient list had me drooling...and the pictures won me over! I wish I had a pile of these right now. Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe with me. Sweet dreams, my friend!

[Reply]
Stella 7/1/11 17:52

I love spicy, crunchy fish stick too, Angie! They are treat for this vegetarian sometimes when I'm having a serious meat craving. I will do mine this way next time I can get my hands on some fresh fish. This does look better than any fish stick dish I've ever seen:)

[Reply]
Mary Bergfeld 7/1/11 18:13

What a lovely recipe. I'm even going to try the sauce, though I'll cut back on the chili oil. Mine is hotter than the hinges of Hades and a tablespoon of it would take me to my great reward much sooner than I'm prepared to go. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary

Oh my, you are on a roll as far as I am concerned these fish sticks are not just calling me they're screaming my name.

[Reply]
Brian Samuels Photography 10/1/11 04:54

What a great idea!!! I think fried fish is completely overlooked... but it's one of the best ways to cook fish. And the flavors that you incorporate here really elevate the dish.

Great post!

[Reply]
Xiaolu @ 6 Bittersweets 12/1/11 01:07

I've never had homemade fish sticks. Must be so much better than the fast food ones and you can control what goes into them, like quality fish and not too much salt. Delicious, Angie!
