Tofu Fish Sticks

Submitted by Chef Joey Z.

"I like the flavour of fish and I like Tofu, so this seemed like a good idea. I pressed my tofu first so the sticks wouldn't be soggy. If you want to press your tofu here's the recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/How-to-Press-Tofu-For-Marinades-or-Frying-312486. I put the laver (sea veggie) into my magic bullet and broke it down. You can use Nori also."
