Nutritional values

The fish sticks with their extraordinary crust provide high-quality protein, which is needed for building muscles. The daily requirement of iodine is covered by a portion of more than 100 percent, the vitamin E requirement by almost half.

You can use frozen fish for this child-friendly dish - in terms of nutritional value it is in no way inferior to fresh fish. If you'd like to have a filling dietary fibre, simply serve jacket potatoes or wholemeal baguette with the delicious sticks.
