FISH & CHIPS


Fish & Chips is a hot dish of English origin, consisting of a high-quality flaky white fish deep-fried in a thin, crispy batter served with deep fried chips.  It is a common take-away food.

As I was down with fever and sore throat, I just felt like having Fish & Chips last night for dinner and managed to make this good tasting, simple recipe of fish and chips dish for my husband and I.  We had this with some garden salad, served with lemon & sour cream.
