Fish sticks and tacos got married and made this delicious easy dish!
Change it up using different flavors of slaws and sauces. My family loved these with corn tortillas best, but flour tortillas or crunchy taco shells would be fantastic as well.
These are a perfect dinner for Fish Fridays during Lent ... or any time of year!

Make this even faster by using pre-made pico de gallo and coleslaw ... No one has to know right?
