Breaded fish sticks
I'm looking for some ideas to do with these, and I won't buy them again
because I don't eat them often enough so they aren't sitting in the freezer getting freezer burned. I'm thinking of something with corn tortillas. I guess I could make fish tacos, but are there other ideas you guys might have, tortillas or not? Thanks in advance! I really want to use these up. -- CAPSLOCK–Preventing Login Since 1980. |

The best you can hope for is to do exactly that, except sub fresh lemon juice. Oh, and a little extra salt, and lots of black pepper. Definitely fry them though, baking them is just wrong. Baking any breaded thing like that is wrong. --Bryan sex+ |

Cook the fish sticks as directed on the package. Put them in corn tortillas. Put some thinly shredded cabbage on top and a little cilantro if you like cilantro. Give the cabbage a healthy squeeze of lime. Top with crema acerba (Mexican sour cream) or regular sour cream or 0% fat Greek yogurt. This is how I like my fish tacos. Some people like to put salsa or pico de gallo on theirs. I have made fish tacos with frozen breaded fish and they are not bad at all. I prefer fresh, grilled or pan fried fish, but to get rid of the fish sticks the tacos are great. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count.

Fried the fish squares and broke them up with a fork and added raw sweet onion and sprinkled with cheddar. I wrapped them in sandwich wrap foil and when I heat them up to eat it will be in the oven. The mix of fish and onion was very good. http://i40.tinypic.com/2q1v2nc.jpg I didn't have any cabbage on-hand. Thanks for the ideas. One bad of prepared fish down and I think I have a few more in another bag, the real fish stick shaped. -- CAPSLOCK–Preventing Login Since 1980. |

I did see this on a commercial on TV. I had taco shells to use up and we were going to the store. Served these to daughter and husband. Although they ate them, I think they were less than thrilled. But the standard way to serve them is to accompany with mashed potatoes. We always had them that way in school. But when did they stop selling the little packages? I can remember buying a small package for husband to make the tacos. I had some old gluten free ones for daughter that I also used up. But I could swear there were like 2 servings in the package I got for him. Now all I can find are HUGE packages. Husband is the only one who would eat these now so a huge package is out. |

The single most qualified person to answer a question that began with, "What moron would," gave you an answer. It was even the most delightfully White Trash answer possible. I'll pose another question, this one purely rhetorical. What kind of moron do you think those TV commercials are targeted to? --Bryan sex+ |

There was a commercial on TV for them. > > Oh, come on. There was. That's how I got the idea to use them that way. It was a bad idea, but I figured if it was on a commercial, people must do it. I've been served all manner of things at people's homes. Which is one big reason why I dislike eating at other people's homes. People disliked eating at ours too because we commonly ate hominy and black eyed peas. Two foods that most people in the PNW are unfamiliar with. When I was a kid and we had people over for dinner, impromptu, there wasn't anything fancy served. We didn't even keep any sort of fancy food in the house. If we were having hamburger patties, then everyone just got a slightly smaller patty and my mom would perhaps slice some cheese to put on the table for more protein, if we had any. She would likely just serve more vegetables to round out the meal. |

FWIW, both TJ and WF make nice versions of breaded fish fillets. Both also have at least one gluten-free version. As you'd expect, the TJ versions are less expensive. -S- |
