Healthy Fish and Chips!

Who doesn't love a good fish and chips right?! I live by the sea and there are so many fish and chip shops around being an English country town so I did some research and found a healthy version of battered fish. 

Of course I had to give it a try and it was honestly better than the fatty battered fish they serve in those shops as I find the amount of grease that you find at the bottom of the paper is not great to say the least! Plus you could actually taste and appreciate the fish with this recipe!

Then I had a thought that it wouldn't be right to serve these delicious healthy fish fillets with unhealthy chips- Enter sweet potato fries! The perfect nutritional alternative to normal potato chips.

2 tbsp olive oil

Coating:

100g ground almonds

Instructions:

1) Cut the fish into rough fingers about 3cm wide and 7cm long.

2) To prepare the coating, combine the ground almonds, sea salt, cayenne pepper in a shallow bowl.

3) Lightly whisk the two eggs in a second shallow bowl.

4) Dip the fish first into the egg and then into the almond mixture when lightly covered and set aside on a plate.

5) Repeat for all of the fish pieces.

6) Heat the olive oil in a large non stick frying pan and fry the fish fingers in batches for 2 minutes on the first side until golden and then 2 minutes on the other on a medium heat. Making sure to replace the oil if necessary and removing any burnt crumbs from the pan as you cook.
