Fish & Chips

Fish & Chips recipe, eat well on universal credit

I’m tagging this as a ‘Jewish Recipe’ because it is, so fight me!

“The UK tradition of eating fish battered and fried in oil was introduced to the country by Spanish and Portuguese Jewish immigrants, who spent time in the Netherlands before settling in the UK as early as the 16th century.” - From Wikipedia.

Our better recipe is a bit different as Gluten is a no-go here. So we've pottered with batter recipes until we found one we like.

Ingredients:-

2 Eggs, beaten and set aside
Cornflour, as much as you need. See method.
Salt (Kosher if you like) & Pepper, to season
2 Tsp of Turmeric (Cornflour batter looks dreadful without)
2 Tsp of Baking Powder
1 Tsp of Garlic Powder
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Heat a fryer to 160c.
(2) Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
(3) Dredge the fish in the dry mix and set aside.
(4) Add Soda Water and enough Cornflour to make a thin batter.
(5) Dunk the coated Fish in the Egg Wash.
(6) Dunk in the Batter mix and fry in batches.

Served with a few peas, Tartar sauce, a slice of Lemon etc. The price of Fish means this isn’t a cheap treat now. But it was gooooood!!!!

Ray Wings with buttery parsley & Caper Dressing recipeWhile hunting around the discounts at the local supermarket we found Ray Wings at less than £1 each. Sue isn't keen on fish generally, but this was a meaty fish a little like Tuna.
 
Ingredients:-
 
1 Ray Wing per person 
Plain flour (We used Gluten free but there is no difference as far as this recipe goes)
Salt and Pepper
Garlic Salt
Chilli Flakes
Onion Salt
Crushed fresh Garlic
50g of Butter
2 tbsp Capers
Soy Sauce
Chopped Parsley
1 Lemon, ½ Juiced and ½ cut into wedges
 
Method:-
 
(1) Marinated the Ray Wings in Soy Sauce and crushed Garlic.
(2) Season the flour with the Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt, Onion Salt and Chilli flakes.
(3) Dredge the fish in the flour mixture until completely coated.
(4) Place a frying pan on a high heat and add ½ of the butter.
(5) Let sizzle and add the fish. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes flipping until golden brown on both sides.
(6) Keep warm under the grill.
(7) Place the pan back on the heat and add the remaining butter.
(8) Add the Capers and then the Parsley. Season with Salt.
(9) Squeeze the ½ lemon juice and stir.
(10) Spoon over the fish.
 
We served ours with Peas and New Potatoes and dressed the fish with the remaining Lemon wedges.
