Mahi Mahi Sticks

Before I start telling you about Mahi Mahi Sticks, I must make one thing clear.   These are not meant to be  ” healthier” fish sticks!  I would never buy fish sticks!  EVER!  I was given fish sticks as a child a few times and they are just gross!

On this blog, I have made healthier versions of pumpkin pies, calzones, onion rings and chips.  Among other things.  These are just a new way to prepare fish to get your kids to appreciate a healthy fish dish.

And I totally know what you are thinking.  ’ Why is this girl always breading everything?’  that’s not healthy.  WELL, I am not frying these items and I enjoy things crunchy! SO there!

The weeks leading up to Christmas, I was trying to clean out my freezer before heading out-of-town.  I had a package of Mahi Mahi that I purchased at Costo.  I ALWAYS defrost my fish in hot water.  NEVER the microwave!

I cut each piece of fish into 4 or 5 sticks and quickly breaded them with Italian breadcrumbs.  I used no eggs.  The breadcrumbs stuck on wonderfully anyway.

I baked the sticks for 17 minutes at 350 degrees.

When I saw that my Mahi Mahi Sticks were crisp to my satisfaction i took them out of the oven.  It is very important not to over cook fish.

My whole family loved these!  I served them with a garlic tarter sauce.   My son ate them with ketchup!

I will make these again!  the frozen fish available at Costco is reasonably priced and wonderful!
