vegan fish sticks

These Vegan Fish Sticks are made with shredded heart of palm dipped in a rich beer batter and served with vegan tartar sauce for an unbelievably good snack.&nbsp;

Beer Battered Vegan Fish Sticks

heart of palm,

panko bread crumbs

seaweed

Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper, (to taste)

chickpea flour

water

all purpose flour

garlic powder

paprika

salt

pepper

dark beer

cooking oil

mayonnaise

lemon juice

sweet pickle relish

horseradish

Combine the ingredients for the tartar sauce and refrigerate until ready to use.

In a food processor combine ingredients for fish sticks. Pulse a few times until ingredients are broken down and well combined. There should still be large chunks.

Shape the heart of palm mixture into 8-10 fish sticks and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, squeezing out excess water. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

To make the beer batter, combine the chickpea flour with water until thick and goopy. Set aside. In a separate bowl combine flour and spices. Mix in chickpea egg. Slowly add beer, about 1/4 cup at a time, while mixing. The batter should be fairly thick but thin enough to evenly coat fish sticks. If your fish sticks are falling apart in the batter, thin it with a little more beer.

Heat oil in a small cast-iron skillet, filling enough so that it&#x27;s about 1&quot; deep.

Once the oil is hot, coat the fish sticks in the batter 2-3 at a time. With a flat utensil, gently place in hot oil and deep fry for about 2 minutes, flipping halfway in between if necessary.

Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Serve immediately with prepared tartar sauce.

A great way to make an easy vegan fish sandwich, fish and chips, or fish sticks.

Vegan Fish

block tofu (firm

kelp powder (or nori strips broke up)

flour gluten-free flour mix if desired))

cornstarch (or potato starch)

baking powder

baking soda

onion powder ((optional))

paprika ((optional))

water ((2/3 cup for gluten-free))

oil (for deep frying)

vegan tartar sauce

Drain and press a block of tofu.

Cut the tofu into any shape that you wish your &quot;fish&quot; to be, such as sticks or patties.

Add 3/4 cups water, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp kelp powder to a shallow dish to make a marinade.

Place tofu in the marinade and turn it to get the kelp flakes stuck to all sides.

Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.  (The longer you let it sit, the fishier the flavor).

Marinate the tofu

Add 3 cups of oil to a pan deeper than the tofu is thick. (This will allow it to float). (Or use a deep fryer).

Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) and have it prepared as the &#039;fish&#039; will be added once it is battered.

When you are ready to fry

Combine 3/4 cups flour, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and salt in a bowl (optional: 1/4 tsp onion powder and 1/4 tsp paprika).

Add 3/4 cups water and stir until it forms a pancake-like batter.

Coat the marinated tofu in the batter.

Place in the hot oil immediately, pulling your hand back quickly as to not get splashed.

Fry for about 3-4 minutes until the bubbles have died down a little and it's golden brown. Flip the "fish" if necessary.

Serve hot with tartar sauce!

Make the batter

Vegan Fish Sticks are made with easy to find, simple ingredients. Coated with a breadcrumb/seaweed coating, they can be fried or baked.

Vegan Fish Sticks

(2) 14-16 ounce blocks extra-firm tofu

soy sauce

lemon juice (about 2 lemons squeezed)

unsweetened non-dairy milk ((I used soy))

breadcrumbs

seaweed snack sheets

Press the tofu by wrapping in paper towels (or a clean dry tea towel). Place a plate or pan on top of the wrapped tofu, and put a couple of heavy books on top of that. Let the tofu press for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour.

For Baking: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a large pan (I used spray oil).

Once the tofu is done pressing, slice it into sticks. Add the flour to a bowl, then coat the tofu sticks in the flour. Set the flour-coated tofu sticks on a cutting board or other clean surface while you prepare the rest of the coatings.

In another small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice and non-dairy milk. Set aside.

In a blender or food processor, add the breadcrumbs, seaweed snack sheets and salt. Use two full packages for a fishier taste, or one package for a less fishy taste. Blend until the sheets are broken down and it is all well combined. Add to a bowl.

Dip the flour-coated tofu sticks into the wet mixture, then immediately coat in the breadcrumb/seaweed mixture.

To Bake: Place on the greased pan and bake for 40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crispy and golden.

To Fry: Heat a large pan (cast iron preferred) over medium-high heat. Fry the tofu in a fair amount of oil, for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

Serve vegan fish sticks with Vegan Tartar Sauce, ketchup and with a side of potato wedges or fries. Enjoy!

Try Sugar free corn cereals and crumble them until they are like crumbs. Works aswell as Bread crumbs.

I made them last night.  Outstanding. Instead of bread crumbs, I substituted Cajun(y) seasoned corn meal and corn flour.  Each block of TOFU made 24 sticks.  I slightly worried that they would be too small. However, once breaded they came out regular fish stick size. And yes, frying is the preferred method of preparation.

Hooray for ‘fish’ Friday! Oh my...this was amazing!!! I used the pan frying method and it was perfect. To make it gf, I used Bob’s gluten free all purpose flour and it worked out well. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes. I have tried many and not one hiccup. You are a genius!
