I really enjoyed this recipe. I used regular Lays instead of vinegar chips, because I couldn't find any vinegar chips nearby, but I also added some lemon and dill and the coating was really satisfying. I had some serious issues getting the chips to stick to the fish though. A reviewer mentioned that it was easier to put the flour on first, and then the milk, and that helped somewhat.

This was Excellent! Try to just use one hand while dredging fish fillets, it can get kind of messy. I used a tbsp. of Miracle Whip whisked into the milk to thicken it up. My daughter came up with the idea to add a little Parmesan Cheese to the chips. Either way you make this, it's good.

Excellent flavor. However, I found that going from milk to flour made it impossible to stick the chips on the fish. I went from flour to milk and it worked better. I also used kettle style chips, and they were probably not the best choice. The crumbs were not fine enough. Next time I'll look at the package before I buy it! I used about 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup milk for 1lb haddock fillets, and baked 15 minutes.
