Ingredients

• 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia)
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup coconut oil (for frying)
• 1 whole lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the fish fillets into stick-like strips, about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs with the coconut milk until well combined.

Step 4

Dip each fish stick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the almond-coconut flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the fish to ensure it adheres well.

Step 5

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot by testing with a small piece of breading. If it sizzles, it’s ready.

Step 6

Carefully place the breaded fish sticks into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the fish sticks from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the crispy fish sticks warm with lemon wedges on the side.
