Lemon Parmesan-Crusted Fish Sticks

Keto fish sticks, am I right? You were over there thinking that nobody keto-fies fish sticks, right? Well I’m all about keto comfort food, and for me, this is a serious comfort food.

One of my favorite dinners as a kid was fish sticks dipped in ketchup, while watching cartoons with my cousins. My ode to those TV dinners? These crispy, flaky, keto fish sticks that have evolved into adult-friendly dippables. I like to offer Homemade Champagne Ketchup and/or Lemon-Dill Tartar Sauce on the side.
