  1. When I stumbled upon this recipe, I had my doubts since for me it's always been beer battered/fried halibut for fish and chips. I tried this recipe anyway and I'M GLAD I DID!!! This is incredibly good! I used the melted butter recipe (as opposed to the beaten egg recipe), and that's what I'm doing today for dinner tonight. NUMMMMMMMMY!
     
  2. I made this recipe for a dinner party last night. I put the fish on sliced purple cabbage, topped with homemade tartar sauce. Instead of using russet potatoes for the chips, I baked yam fries with curry powder. It was easy to prepare and was a huge hit. Thanks!
     
  3. What a great recipe. I t was delicious. My kids ate it right up. I also passed this recipe on to my friend who has a wheat allergy. Finally she can have fish and chips again with no allergic reaction!
     
  4. Very good. I skipped the salt as I thought it would be too salty and I am watching my salt intake. For this same reason I also used half crushed chips and half plain breadcrumbs. It was perfect. I might try it with salt and vinegar chips next time too.
     
  5. This was pretty good. I used the egg method and I liked that the coating was really crispy in the end. It wasn't as flavorful as I had expected it to be though. I think I'll try making it with dill pickle chips or add some other seasonings next time. I'll be making it again though for sure. Thanks!

Those two little boys did an amazingly good job of hiking the steep trail (so did grandma!). Food is my passion. I love to cook, I love to read recipes, I have hundreds of cookbooks. My favorite cookbook is Recipezaar! Since I joined in 2002 it has become the first place I go when looking for a recipe. Cooking is what I do for fun. I love to travel! Not only do I get to see new places and meet interesting people - I get to try new food. My other passions are my grandkids!!!
