Looking for the ultimate kid-friendly weeknight meal that the whole family will love? These Paleo Crispy Fish sticks are just the ticket!
On busy weeknights, it’s easy for parents to open up the freezer and pull out those chemically-filled, perfectly-shaped, rectangle “fish” sticks to satisfy picky eaters.
Unfortunately, those boxed fish sticks are just as much a “mystery meat” as the food in your middle school cafeteria.

So, we wanted to make things easy for you and your kiddos, and recreated the classic snack the PaleoHacks way. The best part? They take only minutes to prepare — giving you a go-to kids’ meal even on the busiest of weeknights.
If you recruit the kids to help you make this meal, you could even prep this dish in a mere five minutes!
First, you’ll make a crispy coating made from almond flour and a few simple spices. Then you’ll just need to slice up some meaty-white fish fillets into “sticks.”
The little ones can help you dredge the fish sticks in a beaten egg, and coat with your almond flour mixture. They’ll love helping out in the kitchen and getting their hands dirty!
Put those all-natural fish sticks in the oven and in just about 12 minutes they’ll be cooked and deliciously golden brown.
And what goes better with fish sticks than another kid-friendly recipe: honey mustard for dipping, of course!
While the fish sticks are baking, prepare a simple honey mustard sauce by mixing some raw honey with some Dijon mustard. Dip those tasty fish sticks in this homemade Honey Mustard (or try these other Paleo condiments) and ditch the freezer food.
