Friday Fish and Chips

Perfect Pixie's Note:

It is a tradition at my school that every friday lunch we have fish and chips. It is obviously a christian tradition. This is how my mum makes hers. The chips will take longer to make, do them first, when about 5 minutes to go then start the peas, then once simmering do your fish

We made this for dinner the other night. It was very easy to do. I used flounder and Italian seasoned breadcrumbs because that was what I had on hand. My husband said he prefers panko over the regular breadcrumbs. The fish was very good with the lemon and topped with a bit of hot sauce. In the future, I'll stick to frying the potatoes with canola oil like we normally do instead of butter. Definitely something I will be adding into our rotation since we are trying to eat more fish. Thank you!
