In my youth I went to St Mary’s school, literally around the block, and if you bought peanut butter and jelly this was not your lunch on Fridays this is not when you bought. You got what resembled fish sticks, fries, and something in the third compartment that I have blocked out of my memory. I saw salmon fish sticks on line and liked the concept but not the flavor. Most fish sticks start with pollack or cod, not salmon. Now, because of that change, normal tartar sauce is out; we can use a buffalo blue cheese sauce. The breading seasoning can be upgraded because the salmon can stand up to it. I hope you like it.

1 cup milk
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup rice flour
