Fish Sticks a.k.a. Cod Fingers
Homemade fish sticks get an upgrade with fresh cod and a crispy panko breadcrumb coating. Rather than choke down the freezer-burnt after-school snack of my youth, I decided to fix the fish stick. Except my version is different in that it's actually tasty. I don’t have to explain the significance of this dish to fellow Whovians, who remember well the first meal of the regenerated 11th Doctor. Though I guarantee you don’t have to have two hearts and live in a blue box to enjoy this classic English dish. This recipe first appeared on Good Eats: Reloaded Season 1.
