Notes
- Nutrition information may vary depending on the type of fish sticks and optional toppings you use.
- Cook the fish sticks until they're deeply golden and crispy. This ensures they hold up well under the slaw and toppings.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for the best texture.
- Use ripe mango for the sweetest flavor. If it's out of season, diced pineapple or peaches are good substitutes.
- Store the fish sticks separately from the slaw and toppings to keep them crispy. Reheat before serving.
