Recipe: homemade breaded fish sticks -DIY -   

I learned this recipe from our neighbor whom I called - aunt Khadidja -. A way - practical - to present good and nutritious salty, and also to use leftover cooked fish, to have something to garnish our table, for a dinner, an outing or a lunch. 

Many are people who don't like to eat chilled fried fish.

These breaded fish sticks can very well be served in the month of Ramadan ( the month of fasting for Muslims ), as a variety of accompaniment to the soup, and as a "change" or an "addition", compared to the savory ones made with the leaves of brik (which one calls " bourak ").
