Cooking Fish Fingers Fish Sticks Backed with lemon and served with grilled vegetables

Fish fingers, also known as fish sticks, are a type of processed seafood product composed of deep-fried filleted fish pressed into stick shapes. They are typically made from white fish such as cod or haddock, though other types of seafood can be used. Fish fingers have been popularized in the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries since the 1950s, with some variations being produced in the United States.

Fish Fingers can be conceptualized as a highly processed convenience food, typically prepared from whitefish fillets such as Pollock or Haddock. The fillets are cut into individual fingers and then breaded or battered with a wheat flour based coating before being deep-fried or oven-baked. As a result of this manufacturing process, the fish fingers exhibit a uniform shape and size which contribute to their appeal as an easily recognizable and convenient meal option.
