These fish and chips were absolutely fantastic. I'd never have thought of using Italian dressing when frying potatoes or using in a fish batter, but the taste was out of this world. I had to add a little bit of milk to make the batter thinner, and the fish fried up with a really crispy and tasty crunch. Yum! I tried making fish "bits" and also using halves of entire fillets; we preferred the bits as called for in this recipe. You didn't need to cut them, and my son called them "Fish McNuggets." I used thick-cut haddock fillets and the fish turned out wonderfully moist and seasoned. Also, putting the fish and chips in the little wax-lined newspaper cups made a fun and authentic presentation. This is a keeper, Molly. Thanks for sharing!
