Russ cooked this for dinner using fish we caught ourselves and an Aussie premium brand chip-Colvan's Crinkle Cut S&V. I loved the light crispy texture a lot, but we both agreed we couldn't taste any S&V at all. I would make this again if I was without crumbs, but wouldn't be too concerned about the flavour of chips I had on hand.
