What it is
These are breaded and pre-cooked fish portions, typically made from white fish like pollock. They are designed for quick and easy preparation, offering a convenient way to enjoy seafood.

How people cook with it
Fish sticks are a versatile item that can be served as a main course or as part of a larger meal. They pair well with a variety of side dishes.

To prepare fish sticks, you can use an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer. For oven baking, spread the frozen sticks on a baking sheet and cook according to package directions until golden brown and heated through. If using an air fryer, arrange them in a single layer and cook until crispy. These methods ensure a satisfying crunch. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface for best results.

How to keep the rest
