Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks
Not only is that flaky fish the best part of the filling, but it’s also the easiest part to make. That’s because I use a secret hack: Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks!
Yep, this is the same brand of fish sticks you remember eating as a kid. That slicker-wearing fisherman hasn’t aged, and the quality he stands for (and has for 167 years) hasn’t changed, either!
Gorton’s Fish Sticks are seasoned and golden fried on the outside and full of fresh-caught flavor on the inside. They’re flash-frozen at the peak of freshness, sealing in the natural nutrients and that wonderful taste.
You can feel good about sharing these fish sticks with your whole family (and friends!), from your great aunt to your little nieces and nephews.
They’re made with 100% wild-caught whole filet fish and are made WITHOUT fillers, preservatives, artificial flavors, artificial colors, hydrogenated oils, or antibiotics.
How To Make Easy Fish Stick Tacos
1. Combine the slaw ingredients in a medium bowl and then place the mixture in the fridge.
2. Preheat the oven and cook the Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks according to the instructions on the package.
3. Spray the bottom side of a muffin pan and arrange the wonton wrapper between the cups to create a taco shape. Spray the wrappers with cooking spray and bake them.
4. Grate the carrots.
5. Assemble the tacos by placing a Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded Fish Stick in each wonton wrapper. Then top them with the slaw mixture and grated carrots. Squeeze lime juice and drops of sriracha and cilantro over the tacos.
Needless to say, Fish Stick Tacos are wholesome and delicious. Plus, using Gorton’s Crunchy Breaded Fish Sticks is a huge timesaver when it comes to cooking the fish.
Aside from being easy to prepare, guests can help themselves to this no-utensils appetizer. Whenever I host a casual gathering, I make sure most of the snacks allow guests to grab, go, and mingle!
How To Serve & Enjoy Fish Stick Tacos
The finishing touches are a squeeze of lime juice, a dash of Sriracha, and some fresh cilantro. Then, when serving Fish Sticks Wonton Tacos, I like to set out tons of other toppings. That way, everyone can enjoy theirs exactly as they like!
Some of my favorite add-ons include guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, avocado, and Cotija cheese. And in my opinion, you can’t have a fish taco without a drizzle of my Best Ever Fish Taco Sauce!

Make these scrumptious appetizers at your holiday get-together for an unconventional snack that everyone will love. (Did I mention that these are extra delicious when paired with a fancy tropical drink?)
