Very tasty. My hubby and kids are picky eaters and they went back for seconds -
The family loved the fish! I've never made fish sticks before, but it was easy and super yummy! Now I can enjoy fish sticks again (I won't eat the store bought they are too fishy and yucky). Thank you for a great recipe!!

I made as directed, but did not use the optional almonds. I served with my tartar sauce recipe. Delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe. -
Made for Photo Tag Spring 2008 Lovely taste.I used multigrain bread for the crumbs and Haddock instead of Cod...just a personal preference.
