Fish is not everyone’s cup of tea but these 7 ingredient fish sticks will have you devouring your meal and searching for more! Fish sticks are a delicious treat that’s often overlooked. Yet, these fish sticks are outside the norm. With a few ingredients, these just might become your favorite dish yet!

I previously prepared cod with peppers and olives in the oven. Yet, cod is not the most appealing of fish. It came to mind that fish and chips are made with cod, so I decided to make a paleo (breading). These didn’t turn out like fish and chips, but more like fish sticks. These 7 ingredient fish sticks turned out crunchy and a lot better than I expected.

The star of the 7 ingredient fish sticks is arrowroot powder. This powder serves as the “breading” it is low calorie, low carbohydrate, and gluten-free. If arrowroot powder is hard to come by in the store you can get it here. An alternative to arrowroot powder is tapioca starch.

Cod, like other fish, is rich in protein and macronutrients. Cod contains a lot of minerals such as selenium and iodine. In addition to that, a 4 oz or 100 gram serving of cod contains the daily recommended value of vitamin B12. Cod also has healthy fats which have been studied to have positive effects on your cardiovascular health.

These 7 ingredient fish sticks are tasty and nutritious. These will certainly fix your need for crunchy and tasty things while staying within your daily target. The macronutrients for a 4 oz or 100-gram serving of the 7 ingredient fish sticks are the following:

Calories: 250

Fats: 14

Carbs: 7

Protein: 24

I recommend eating these immediately after making, but I am sure they might last for up to three days.

I hope you enjoy!
