Fish Sticks

Even fish haters and the pickiest kids can't turn down these crisp, puffed morsels of fish. Pollack is the ideal choice, since it holds together best when cooked, though cod or haddock also work well. Serve the sticks with tartar sauce and a quick slaw of packaged shredded cabbage tossed with a little low-fat Italian dressing.
