Onions1 (the original recipe suggests ½ lb (250 g). Your call depending on how much you like onions, or more precisely, chopping onions.)
Apple juice½ cup (125 ml), could be replaced with apple cider vinegar
Fish sticks1 lb (450 g), (Yes, rectangular sticks of composed fish parts covered in breading that you dreaded as a child, that’s exactly what I’m referring to.)
