These no-fish sticks made from hearts of palm taste juicy and tender on the inside and very crispy on the outside. They are baked in the oven, have a real sea flavor and are incredibly tasty. You can find a detailed vegan fish sticks recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
How to make vegan fish sticks from hearts of palm
With their fibrous and tender consistency and light color, hearts of palm are ideal as a base for vegan fish sticks. In addition, just like tofu, they absorb the taste and all the flavors of the spices added to them well.
For this recipe, you will need canned hearts of palm pickled in brine. You can buy them in some supermarkets or online.
Alternative to hearts of palm
Instead of using hearts of palm, you can make the vegan fish sticks from jackfruit. For the recipe, take the canned flesh of it, which has been soaked in salted water.
Drain the jackfruit flesh thoroughly. Then finely chop it up with your hands. You can also try out my jackfruit goulash recipe.
Seaweed for sea flavor
The most important ingredient that gives the no-fish sticks their sea flavor is seaweed. It is similar with the vegan fish cakes, the vegan tofu fish, the carrot lox, the vegan black caviar, the vegan tuna salad, the vegan sprats and the vegan Shuba salad.
I have used nori sheets in the recipe and finely chopped them in a blender. Alternatively, you can experiment with dulse flakes or wakame.
As main meal or snack
You can serve the vegan fish sticks as a main meal with a side dish, a vegetable salad or a dip. They are also perfect as a snack between meals.
As a side dish, rosemary roasted potatoes or potato fries go very well with the homemade vegan fish sticks. They also taste delicious with vegan remoulade and other sauces. You can also eat them in a wholemeal bread roll or hamburger bun.
How to store vegan fish sticks?
The vegan fish sticks taste best fresh. Serve them straight after baking. They are still delicious once they have cooled down.
If you haven’t eaten all the vegan fish sticks, you can store the leftovers in a food storage container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. Then reheat them briefly in the oven before serving.
Fry in the pan
I have made the vegan fish sticks from hearts of palm in the oven. Alternatively, you can fry them in a pan. To do this, add plenty of vegetable oil to the pan and heat it up. Fry the no-fish sticks over a medium to high heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

How to make vegan fish sticks: tips and tricks
- You can use jackfruit instead of hearts of palm. Read more about this in the article above.
- I have used a ready-made fish spice for the recipe. However, you can make your own suitable spice mix.
- Do not puree the hearts of palm to a pulp so that the mixture does not become mushy. If your hearts of palm mixture is still too moist, you can add some more breadcrumbs. If the mixture is too dry, add a little salt water from the pickled hearts of palm.
- I made 8 slightly larger no-fish sticks. Alternatively, you can make them smaller and get more of them.
- Breading works well with the help of two forks.
- Instead of baking them in the oven, you can fry the vegan fish sticks in a pan. You can find out how to do this in the article above.
