Tofu Fishies

Here's my recipe for Tofu Fish Sticks. I've been experimenting and finally came up with a recipe I'm satisfied with -- they're crunchy and crispy and just a wee bit fishy (kelp granules, dill, and lemon juice, ta da!). So it's tofu fish, tater tots, ketchup, a chocolate rice milk and banana pudding, and two Aplets (last of the Christmas gift goodies) for dessert.
Verdict: Every single bite got eaten, with a request for more of those "tasty fish" when he got home. 5 stars.

That reeeeeeeeally makes me want fish sticks and I don't DO fish sticks. Because. You know. Ew.

Jen-
What kind of tater tots do you use? We're getting very close to trying copies of some lunches - different food is a really big deal with Miss Picky. She's not vegan yet, but she really leans that way, so I wil encourage it for all I'm worth.

Yum-o! I can't wait to try these! I had been hoping to find a healthier alternative to fish sticks, since my kids really like them. :)

Right on Becca. Looks like Whole Foods Tater Tots, are they? I like those and they have apple juice in them.

Hi, miss picky's mom (love it!) -- I use Cascadian Farms organic tater tots.

Hi, dee -- yes I did, thank you so much! Sorry it takes me a while to answer emails and comments sometimes. I keep trying to keep up but sometimes I get overwhelmed. WOO HOO on the Brussels sprouts!

Hi, jane -- I think kelp powder should work just fine. Experiment and let me know how it goes!

The to-fish look great!! I'm going to try this for sure. I used to try and make fish "skins" with Nori sheets and tofu sheets, but that's for a different type of thing altogether, & I haven't quite perfected that method. Anyway, found your blog through vegan outreach and love it. Thank you.

After the rave review (and my longing for fish sticks), I gave these a try--finally found some kelp powder. Anyway they were good, but mine weren't very crunchy, which was disappointing. Perhaps it's because I didn't have parchment paper? I just oiled a baking sheet and put them on it directly.

These were wonderful. Everyone in my "blended family", from my omnivore hubby to my vegan daughter, loved this recipe.

I want to thank you for posting recipes on the net. I am always hesitant to buy a new vegan cookbook. Asking myself, "will I make enough items to justify the price?" Posting your recipes (BTW, every one I've tried has been great) allowed me to try a few first. I bought your cookbook and Vegetarian Times yesterday. Thank you!
