  • Homemade fish sticks are a delightful twist on a classic favourite, perfect for a comforting meal that the whole family can enjoy. To begin with, choose a firm white fish, such as cod or haddock, which holds its shape well during cooking. Cut the fish into finger-sized portions, ensuring they’re uniform for even cooking.

    Next, prepare your coating: a simple mixture of breadcrumbs seasoned with salt, pepper, and perhaps a hint of paprika for a bit of warmth. For a crunchier texture, dip each fish piece first into flour, then into a beaten egg, before finishing with a generous layer of breadcrumbs.

    Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan until it shimmers, then gently lay in the coated fish sticks, turning them once golden brown and crisp. Serve them hot with a side of homemade tartar sauce or a wedge of lemon, accompanied by a fresh salad or some chunky chips for a quintessentially British experience. The result is a satisfying meal that’s both nostalgic and incredibly tasty, capturing the essence of simple, hearty cooking.
