3 Vegan Fish Stick recipes TESTED... what makes a better fish?

Lets make vegan fish sticks 3 ways and see what is more fish like!!
First up is banana blossom fish! This is a fairly new but slowly getting more popular way of making vegan fish.

Next up is using bamboo shoots as fish. This isnt very common and In fact I havnt seen this method before, but I have a good feeling about it working out well

Lastly the tried and true tofu fish... I know this version of vegan fish is the absolutely hands down most popular vegan fish, but is it the best?

The goal of SauceStache is to continue trying something new, something new to me and something different.
I find inspirations from you the SauceSquad and my constant hunt of social media to see what food is being made around the globe and how can I try to make it. Lets try to make some food and have fun!!

You HAVE to try vegan fish sticks with hearts of palm seasoned with nori furikake. So yummy! Shout out to Tabitha Brown for that one. ❤️❤️❤️

I am going to be honest: I am probably not going to make any of these since I don't crave fish flavours enough to go though all these steps. Having siad that, I am *super impressed* with your thought-through method of making these! The idea for the "broth" and the choice of ingredients seems great and the results were truly amazing! They looked a milion times better than any (non)vegan fish sticks I've eaten in my life (only had store-bough ones as a treat from time to time). I think some restaurants have to get into making something like that because I''s gladly have someone make these for me (and my non-vegan fam).
.
Sending you both lots and lots of love!
I hope you're having a wonderful start of December!

I made a jackfruit "fatty tuna" for sushi rolls & it was banging, at least when dipped in soy+wasabi. What it wasn't is aesthetic.

Just fyi for people not too enthusiastic about egg replacer: it's not necessary for breading. You can very well do milk (substitute) and panko/breadcrumb mix. In that case double breading or even triple gets the best crunchy results.

I honestly look forward to every one of your videos... I'm trying to perfect my own seitan as we speak! You are my favorite food channel by far!!

"because fish is from the sea" and "vegan lemon" made me laugh hard 😅

[Remembertheth]

This was very cool. Awesome to see the comparisons. Thanks Mark & Monica!👍😍

[benbagley]

I like the 'comparing different versions' thing!

[jonathanb]

Oh my goodness thanks for doing this video! I literally just asked you in another video to do bamboo shoots and you actually did it! You and Monica are awesome. Love you both!

[agneschrismer]

Love yours and your wifes enthusiasm. The bamboo stik looks really good .

I’m pretty sure I would never make any of the recipes you show for so many different reasons but you’re so entertaining and informative that I still love to watch.

[MagnusSohlberg]

I've only found regular lemon in the stores, where did you find VEGAN lemon!?

Thanks for this recipe, it looks very easy and worthwhile to pull off! Will absolutely do this for a party with my friends <3

I am a carnivore but I love your videos to make interesting sides that double as a vegetarian/vegan option when I have guests.

The THREE TABLESPOONS POTATO STARCH was kinda Jekyll & Hyde. 😂

Hey Mark, a possible ingredient to try: in the latest Future Neighbor episode on dakgaejang (note: most definitely not vegan) Daniel mentions that the Korean ingredient gosari – fernbrake, also known as bracken – has a flavor and texture that reminds him of pulled pork. He likes the kind that's packaged in water; Maangchi prefers dried because it lasts in the pantry. Might be interesting to explore.

I would love for you guys to try heart of palms as a alternative. they are already in the form of sticks and people use them to make vegan shrimp and calamari.

[terrijuanette]

As a cook I appreciate true honesty like Monica's and I love your hearty laugh reaction to it. Awesome!

[paulkieffer]

I was literally thinking about asking you to do fish fry! Y'all are the best.

[staciaustin]

I love bamboo shoots...glad it came in first because that's definitely what I'd pick to use!

[thefoodadvocate]

I had flash backs of the sun setter awning commercials with the audio change at the price. Hilarious. I love that you called it out too.
