Food from the Commonwealth

So, I decided to switch things up a little bit last night for dinner and attempted to make fish and chips, and I must say that it turned out quite well.

Now, this is something we definitely won't be eating every week or in fact every month....and maybe not even every 6 months....because it is deep fried....so not the healthiest thing...but it was nice for one evening.

Here is the very easy recipe that I used from the BBC.

If you don't feel like clicking on the link, here is what I did. It is slightly modified from the BBC.

Ingredients

3 Potatoes

Vegetable Oil

250 grams of flour

500 ml of water or milk

4 fish fillets

salt and pepper to taste

To Serve

Lemon

Tartar Sauce

Directions:

1. Wash potatoes and cut into strips or wedges. Dry and set aside.

2. Make batter using milk and flour. Add salt and pepper to season.

3. Heat the oil for frying and then add the potatoes. Cook until browned and can pierce with a fork. Remove from oil and place on paper towels.

4. Dip the fish in the batter and then fry in the oil for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

We also served with some peas....I mean have to have some vegetables right.
