Ingredients
Vegan Fish
- 2 oz cans heart of palm drained, 396g cans
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs 30 g
- ¼ cup Crumbled nori seaweed, 15 g
- 2 Tbsp capers
- 2 Tbsp vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 120 g
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- ½ tsp each salt, pepper, garlic powder
- 1 ½ cups ale beer
For Frying and Serving
- 4 cups vegetable oil 950 mL
- 4 portions French fries*
- To serve: lemon wedges, vegan tartar sauce**
Instructions
- Blitz: Add all vegan fish ingredients to a food processor. Blitz briefly until the heart of palm is broken down a bit (you still want some larger chunks, which provide the flaky fish texture).
- Shape: Shape into about 12 flattened logs. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the freezer to chill while you prepare the batter and oil (they should be in the freezer for no more than 15 minutes; move them to the fridge if it takes longer).
- Batter: Stir together flour and spices, then whisk in the beer until a smooth batter is formed.
- Oil: Heat oil in a deep pan or deep fat fryer to about 350ºF (176ºC), ensuring the oil level is high enough to cover the "fish."
- Assemble: Working in batches, use forks or metal tongs to dip each vegan fish stick into the batter, letting excess batter drip off. Immediately transfer to the hot oil, cooking for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the finished vegan fish to a wire rack. Continue until all fish sticks are finished.
- Serve: Serve immediately with french fries and vegan tartar sauce.

Notes
- *For "Chips" (Fries), you can cook them in the deep fryer, air fryer, or oven. I prefer just to use a bag of frozen precut fries!
- **For Vegan Tartar Sauce, combine ½ cup vegan mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp fresh dill, 1 Tbsp chopped pickle, 1 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- ½
- Leftovers will not be as tasty as fresh from the fryer. Should you have leftovers, reheat them in the oven or air fryer to get them crispy again!
