There is something so comforting and delicious about fish and chips. Traditionally a big take-away (take out/ to go) meal, cod, halibut, tilapia or another firm whitefish is typically battered, fried, and served with chips, or to us Americans, fries. I absolutely love fish and chips, but I don’t exactly love the whole frying component (I mean, I do. It’s delicious. But it kind of negates the point of eating fish). I wanted to try to make a baked version that would hopefully keep its crunch. I decided to give it some slight American flair and added Old Bay seasoning to the batter and on the fries.
Ingredients:
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups panko
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- tarter sauce
- Malt vinegar
- Lemon wedges, optional
