Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ready In: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh cod
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup arrowroot flour or tapioca flour
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 3-4 Tbsp. lard/bacon fat or tallow
Instructions
- Rinse the cod and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into sticks that are about 1/2″ wide and 4″ long
- Place the 2 eggs in a medium-sized bowl and whisk. Place the almond flour, arrowroot flour, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika into another medium-sized bowl and stir to combine.
- Dip the cod pieces into the whisked eggs and then into the almond flour mixture, making sure the sticks are well coated on all sides. Place the coated sticks on a wire cooling rack while you continue to coat the rest.
- Place the lard or tallow in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the fat to heat up and then add half of the sticks to the pan, making sure they are not touching. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Transfer to a plate covered in a paper towel and cook the second half of the fish sticks.
- Serve with your favorite paleo ketchup, tartar sauce, and lemon wedges and enjoy!
