why make this recipe

Fakeaway fish and chips are a great choice for a healthy and delicious meal at home. Instead of deep frying, this recipe uses the oven to create crunchy fish and golden chips. You get all the flavor without the extra calories and fuss. It’s a fun dish that everyone will enjoy, making it perfect for family dinners or a casual meal with friends.

how to make Fakeaway fish and chips

Ingredients:

3 free-range eggs
150g/5½oz cornflakes
750g/1lb 10oz frozen white fish fillets
750g/1lb 10oz potatoes, peeled and cut into 1cm/½ in pieces
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
400g/14oz frozen peas
50g/1¾oz reduced fat crème fraîche
1 small bunch chives, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Line two big baking trays with baking paper.
Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl and whisk them well. Season with half the salt and plenty of black pepper. Add the fish and swirl it around until fully coated in the egg.
Tip the cornflakes into a large food bag, seal it, and bash them with a rolling pin until they are crushed.
Open the bag and add the frozen fish pieces one at a time. Turn them around to coat them in the crushed cornflakes. Lift out the fish and place it onto one of the prepared baking trays.
Put the chips on the other prepared baking tray. Drizzle them with the oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and plenty of black pepper. Toss to mix, then spread the chips out in a single layer. You might need two trays for this.
Put both trays in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, take out the tray with the chips and turn them over. Return them to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the fish is cooked and the chips are tender and golden brown.
While they bake, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are heated through. Drain them and return to the pot. Add the crème fraîche and crush with a masher until broken down. Stir in the chives.
Serve the fish and chips with a small portion of peas on the side.

how to serve Fakeaway fish and chips

To serve Fakeaway fish and chips, place a piece of crispy fish and a generous helping of chips on each plate. Add a portion of the creamy peas and garnish with extra chives if desired. You can also serve it with a wedge of lemon for a zesty touch.

how to store Fakeaway fish and chips

If you have leftovers, store the fish and chips in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for up to two days. To reheat, place them back in the oven until hot and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

tips to make Fakeaway fish and chips

Use fresh herbs like parsley or dill if you can’t find chives.
Feel free to add some spices, like paprika, to the cornflakes for extra flavor.
Cut the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
Make sure not to overcrowd the trays; it helps in achieving crispiness.

variation

You can change the type of fish used in this recipe. Cod or haddock works very well, but feel free to experiment with your favorite white fish. Additionally, swap the peas for mushy peas or a fresh salad on the side.
