Get Creative with Your Coating

Start by coming up with a unique coating for your fish. You can try panko breadcrumbs mixed with herbs and spices, crushed potato chips, or even crushed nuts for added crunch and flavor. Get creative and have fun!

Zesty Sauce Galore

To add a twist to your Fish and Chips, experiment with different zesty sauces. You can make a tangy tartar sauce by mixing mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped pickles, and a dash of hot sauce.

Bake or Fry?

Now it's time to decide whether you want to bake or fry your fish. If you're looking for a healthier option, baking is the way to go. Simply preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), coat your fish fillets with your chosen coating, and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. If you want to indulge in the crispy goodness, go for frying. Heat oil in a deep pan or pot to 350°F (175°C), and carefully fry your coated fish fillets until they're golden brown and delicious.

Perfectly Crispy Chips

No Fish and Chips is complete without the 'chips' part! Slice your potatoes into uniform pieces, about 1/2 inch thick. Soak them in cold water for a few minutes to remove excess starch. Drain the water and pat dry the potato slices. Fry them in hot oil for about 5-6 minutes until they're crispy and golden. Season with salt and any other seasonings you prefer, like paprika or garlic powder.
