Ingredients:
1 pound fresh cod
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups 
almond flour (I use Honeyville brand)
- 1/2 cup 
arrowroot powder

- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 3-4 Tbsp. lard/bacon fat or tallow




Directions:1. Rinse the cod and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into sticks that are about 1/2" wide and 4" long
2. Place the 2 eggs in a medium sized bowl and whisk. Place the almond flour, arrowroot powder, sea salt, black pepper and paprika into another medium sized bowl and stir to combine.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Serve with your favorite paleo ketchup,  tartar sauce and lemon wedges and enjoy!



If you want to bake them instead of fry them you can place the fish sticks on a greased baking pan, making sure they are not touching, and bake at 400F for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. Just want to make sure they get crispy but don't burn.
