Notes
Purchase quality fish sticks! We like the Trident Panko Breaded Fish Sticks (Costco).
The tartar sauce and slaw can be made a day ahead for easy dinner prep.
If you want fast and easy use flour tortillas, if you want more flavor use corn tortillas.
When you use corn tortillas warm them in a non stick skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
