Both Gary and I love fish. Gary probably likes Mahi Mahi better than I do. When I first used to make it for him, it tasted a little sour to me ... kind of like swordfish.
Then I started experimenting with my preparation...like when I dredge it in a seasoned flour and pan frying it and topping it with a lemon butter sauce or when I baked it with a matecumbe sauce.
But then I decided to make them as fish sticks....and add coconut and bread crumbs...and bake them.
I must tell you that I’ve never had fish sticks before. They never really appealed to me, but I like do like chicken tenders and how you can dip them into different sauces. And I have some banana ketchup in the refrigerator.
