Crispy Fish Sticks [Low Carb & Keto]

This recipe for low carb and Keto fish sticks and tartar sauce is a throw back to when you were a kid eating frozen fish sticks.  But these new low carb fish sticks have zero net carbs per serving.

You know what I've been jonesing for lately?

Fish sticks. Just good old fashioned, frozen fish sticks. I've been longing for the absolute comfort of a plate of Mrs. Paul's fish sticks. So good, so easy to make.

But how?!

I am on a low carb diet, so I can't just hit the frozen food section and pick up some Keto fish sticks. This way of eating is never that simple.

Unless...

I made my own fish sticks from scratch. Once I set my mind to the task, coming up with a nice crispy low carb fish stick recipe wasn't so hard after all. You can actually do it in about the same amount of time that it would take you to bake up some Mrs. Paul's.

Here's how you do it:

You start by cutting 1 pound of white fish into 1 x 3 inch strips.

Then you add 2 tablespoons oat fiber to a shallow bowl.

Mix together ¼ cup mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons almond milk and add it to another shallow bowl.

Mix together a ½ cup ground pork rinds with ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese and add it to a third shallow bowl.

Take a piece of fish and dredge it in the oat fiber. Then dip it into the mayo mixture and coat it in the pork rind mixture.

Add a single layer of fish sticks to an air fryer and spray them with cooking spray. Cook for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. Use tongs to carefully flip the fish sticks and then cook for another 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.

Or bake the fish sticks on a parchment covered and oiled cookie sheet. Spray the fish sticks with cooking spray and bake for 6 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Carefully flip using a pancake turner and bake for another 6 minutes.

Then mix up some tartar sauce using ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chopped dill pickles, 1 teaspoon pickle juice and ½ teaspoon dried dill.

And you're done!

Time to enjoy your homemade low carb fish sticks and tartar sauce. It's a tasty fish dinner with zero net carbs per serving. And you know what they say about low carb fish sticks, don't you?

You'll never stop lovin 'em.
