Frozen fish sticks might not sound like the most appetizing dinner option. However, this doesn’t mean they can’t be. If you simply get fish sticks out of the freezer and fry them, you will get something to fill your belly. But if you take a few extra steps in between, you can end up with a surprisingly satisfying dish. Here are some simple ways to improve frozen fish sticks.

Add Seasoning

The easiest way to take your frozen fish sticks to another level is to season them. And we don’t mean just adding some salt. That will do too, but don’t be afraid to sprinkle them with some cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes. 

Make Fish Tacos

Frozen fish sticks will work great as the main ingredient in sandwiches and tacos. However, we recommend going the taco route and laying the tortilla with fish sticks before adding some cilantro, guacamole, coleslaw, veggies, and your favorite condiments.

Get Creative With the Dip

Fish sticks are the perfect dipping food and you should treat them as such. So, instead of simply dipping them in ketchup, get creative with your dip. You’ll be amazed by the results when you introduce tartar, honey mustard, or nacho cheese to the equation.

Bake Instead of Fry

Frying might be the quicker option, but slow and steady wins the race. This is why you should bake frozen fish sticks in your oven. They will be less greasy, evenly cooked, and have a more satisfying golden color.
