I’ve been obsessing about yummy wraps lately. Low-carb wraps are easy enough to find in grocery stores or online. I love them! I’ve never heard of a fish wrap before though, but why not? I bet I could come up with a good one that’s easy too. All I need are the fish. So let’s go fishing! See the link to Laurice, the recipes, and fishing equipment below.

Low-Carb Fish Sticks Recipe
This was inspired by the recipe found here: notcrocker.com/2013/08/01/crispy-fried-fish-with-homemade-caper-tartar-sauce
INGREDIENTS
1 LB small mild white fish fillets
1 cup grated parmesan
1 cup almond meal/flour
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp dried parsley (I used dill weed instead)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
4 tbsp mayo (¼ cup)
2 large eggs
Stick of butter and oil for frying
DIRECTIONS
In a small casserole dish, toss together the dry ingredients for the fish coating.
Whisk the egg with the mayo in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Cut the fillets to desired size.
Dip the fish into the egg mixture, swiping off any extra. Dredge the fillets in the breading mixture, pressing to ensure a thorough and even coating. Place on a plate until ready to fry.
In a large skillet, add the stick of butter and enough oil to cover bottom. Heat to medium high (350° - 370° F). Gently drop the fish sticks in the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, until golden. Do this in batches if necessary so as not to overcrowd the skillet. Remove the cooked fish to a paper-towel covered plate.
Fish Wraps Recipe
Inspired by the recipe found here:
recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=711065
8 ounces chopped shredded cabbage or lettuce
12 grape tomatoes thinly sliced
¼ large sweet onion cut into thin strips
1 pound of fish sticks (I use my own fresh caught fish)
4 to 6 large low-carb tortillas
⅓ cup of Pace salsa (medium heat)
⅓ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup sour cream
Mix salsa, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Add shredded cabbage, tomatoes and onions, and mix well. Place a few fish sticks on the large tortilla and top with salsa, mayo, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes and onion mix. Fold like a burrito.
Fishing equipment:
Worm rod is a Shimano Compre, Model CPC68MC, 6’ 8” fast action, medium power. Suggested lure weight ⅛ to ¼ ounce. Suggested line weight 6 - 12 pound test.
The buzz bait rod is a pistol grip “Bass Pro Shops Bionic Blade.” It is model BB60MLC 6 foot medium light, with ⅛ to ½ oz. lure weight recommended, and 6 to 14 pound line test recommended. It is probably 15 years old or older.
The plastic worm was a 5 inch Yamasenko. I don’t remember the color. It had a ¼ inch round washer around it to help hold the hook to it.
The buzz bait was a ¼ ounce Strike King in black.
The line used was Original Stren in 8 pound test.
The boat is a Bass Hunter I ordered from Bass Pro Shops about 12 years ago. They no longer sell it. Also, this model is no longer available, but newer models like it are still sold.

The reason I keep small bass to eat:
We had biologists come out and do an electroshock survey of the lake. They found too many small, stunted bass. Their advice was to remove all bass under 12 inches, and to release the bigger ones. This rule is usually the opposite in large public lakes.
