These homemade baked fish sticks also couldn’t be more versatile. They make a fun, nostalgic dinner for kids but are also fancy enough to serve as an appetizer at parties. You can easily keep them gluten-free by using GF panko crumbs. Or amp up the seasoning by swapping in different spice blends or dried herbs.
I also love that you can choose to bake them in the oven or air fryer depending on your needs and preferences. The air fryer version gets you that crispy crunch in even less time. While baking them allows you to do bigger batches at once.
Really, the only difficult thing about these baked fish sticks is deciding whether to dunk them in that caper sauce, tartar sauce, ketchup or just happily eat them plain. Although I’d highly recommend having that lemon caper sauce on hand because it is just THAT good!
Whether you grew up on the frozen fish stick life or have yet to experience their miraculous powers, this homemade version is a total must-try. Simple, fresh, crispy, family-friendly and so satisfying with the lemon caper sauce! Your snack cravings and childhood favorites just got a very delicious, very grown-up makeover.
