So, when I made the homemade fish sticks for my last post, my meat-and-potatoes-loving husband was way more excited about the side dish: baked french fries. So I decided I should do a separate post for the fries. I actually make these baked fries all the time and here are the…
Today, for fun: a modern makeover for the much-loved, retro, American favorite: fish sticks! The 1950’s/60’s version: fried, heavily breaded, and highly processed fish sticks.
