Crispy Gluten Free Oven Fried Fish Sticks

    Sometimes I crave fish and chips.   I grew up on the California coast, and one of our favorite things to do as a family was to spend the day at  Newport Beach and then grab some fish and chips for dinner.  It took me awhile when I went gluten free to find a decent recipe for fish and chips. I'll share that another time.  

   Anyway when I don't want to hassle with making a gluten free batter and frying some fish, this oven baked version is the next best thing. And guess what, I found it on the back of a box of Albers Cornmeal!   just had to switch it to rice flour and add some of Costco's Organic No Salt Seasoning to give it a bit more kick. 

 Last week  we made these with some oven fries and some KFC Copycat Cole Slaw.   With the extra fish sticks we had, we also made some great fish sandwiches for our lunches.
