Somebody asked me, "B.D. what can I do with fish sticks?"
Well...not much of anything, besides slather them with Tartar sauce.
What can you do with the little humble fish stick that has been around for years?
I remember years ago, my mother would fix these little delights with some french fries. The American version of England's fish & chips. The house always smelt so good with fish sticks in the oven and served with fries or mashed potatoes and corn on the cob and maybe a salad.
When TV dinners had fish sticks, they always turned out soggy, never up to snuff compared to the oven made. Yes... I still remember that smell of my mother's kitchen so many years ago.
Our cooking styles have changed over the years...but just think back for a moment and relive that smell...that moment...those memories...
So...what can you do with fish sticks? Here is a very simple recipe, that puts a new twist on the very humble fish stick. I hope you enjoy this, it may become a family favorite.
Fish Stick Fajitas
18 Fish sticks
1 large Onion
3 Bell peppers ( green- red- yellow) sliced and seeded
1 tsp. minced Garlic
a little oil for cooking (whatever you like)
1 packet of Fajita dry seasoning mix
9 Flour Tortilas (warmed up)
Shredded Cheese
Salsa
Sour cream
Guacamole
Salt & pepper to taste
Cook fish stick according to package direcitions. While the sticks are cooking, heat oil in a skillet.
Add Garlic, Onions & Peppers. Stir and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until veggies are tender. Stir in fajita seasoning mix.
Place 2 cooked fish sticks in the middle of a tortila, top with veggie mixture, cheese, salsa, sour cream and guacamole to taste and wrap 'em up.
That's the best I can do...
B.D.
