Paleo Fish Sticks

Move over Gordon's fish sticks, there's a new brand in town.

Are you looking for a new, healthier version of fish sticks for your kids (or yourself)??!!
Well, this paleo recipe is much lighter and better for the body.
Fish, itself, is so great for you and if you can get your kids to eat it then that's a plus.

My son is a semi-picky eater. It depends on the day and what mood he's in (but he's almost 3 so he's usually in a whiny mood...) In any event, my little man gobbled up his fish like it was candy!

This recipe is easy, but the frying can take awhile, so give yourself enough time to fry. Also, if you have a pan splatter cover, I would use that. My stove and counters were a mess by the time I was done cooking!

I baked some sweet potato fries to go along with the meal and a fresh salad with cherry tomatoes, carrots, and Braggs Sesame Ginger Dressing.

You can make a homemade tartar sauce to go with the fish sticks, but they honestly tasted great without anything.

This recipe serves 7. I only used 1 pound of cod, since there's only 2 1/2 of us that eat solids!



You Will Need:

1/2 cup almond flour
3/4 cup tapioca flour
1 cup full-fat unsweetened coconut milk
2 egg whites
1/2 cup water
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
2 cups organic palm shortening
2 lbs cod, cut into strips



  • Heat the shortening over medium heat in a saucepan.
  • Cut the cod into small strips.

  • Stir together the dry ingredients, then add in the remaining wet ingredients.


  • Dip cod into the batter and stir to coat.
  • Using tongs, place carefully into the oil.

  • After 2-3 minutes, flip over and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden.
  • Remove and place on a paper towel covered plate.
  • Repeat with the remaining fish.
