Opah Belly Fish Sticks

Looking for healthier fish sticks that aren’t breaded and deep fried? Opah belly cooks to bright white with a mild flavor and moist texture. It’s also packed with heart-healthy fats that result in crispy edges without a lot of additional cooking oil. Bonus: these are kid-approved!
