Vegan fish sticks
The 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 make the vegan fish sticks at home with this recipe.
Servings 8 sticks
Ingredients
- 400 g drained hearts of palm marinated in brine
- 30 g breadcrumbs
- 1 nori sheet
- 1 tbsp fish spice or to taste
for breading
- 100 ml soy milk
- 80 g breadcrumbs
- 50 g cornstarch
- 1 tsp yeast flakes
- 1 tsp fish spice or to taste
- approx. 3 tbsp linseed oil
Instructions
- Rinse drained hearts of palm and pat them dry thoroughly.
- Cut the hearts of palm into larger pieces, place them in a blender and roughly chop them by switching the blender on and off again and again. If excess liquid has formed, pour it off.
- Finely grind nori sheet in a blender.
- Place the hearts of palm, the nori sheet, breadcrumbs and fish spice in a mixing bowl and knead into a well moldable mass.
- Shape fish sticks from the hearts of palm mixture and spread them on a sheet of baking paper.
- Pour soy milk into a small bowl.
- Put breadcrumbs in another bowl.
- Mix cornstarch, yeast flakes and fish spice in another bowl.
- Roll the fish sticks in the cornstarch mixture first, then dip them in the soy milk and then coat them in the breadcrumbs.
- Spread the fish sticks on a baking tray lined with baking paper and drizzle with plenty of linseed oil.
- Bake the fish sticks in a preheated oven at 392 °F (200 °C) for approx. 35 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- 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. 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.
- Linseed oil gives the no-fish sticks even more fishy flavor. Alternatively, you can use another vegetable oil.
