Fish and chips

Cookinero 21 March 2025

Fish and chips are a popular British fast food dish. The original recipe involves deep-frying battered cod and serving it with French fries. It's easy to make a light and healthy version of this street food. To do this, bake the potatoes in the oven and fry the fish in a frying pan. You'll get a less caloric dish and still have the traditional fish and chips taste.

How to cook Fish and chips

Step 1

Fish and chips

Prepare the potatoes. Place the potato wedges in a bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake until golden brown for 30 minutes at 215℃.

Step 2

Fish and chips

Prepare the sauce. In a bowl, mix yogurt with Dijon mustard, add capers, parsley, cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Fish and chips

Prepare the breading. In a separate bowl, combine the wheat and corn flour, add salt and ground black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Fish and chips

Prepare the fish. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dip the cod strips in the sauce, then generously roll them in flour and put them in the frying pan. Fry over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side. Place the finished fish on a napkin to remove excess oil.

Fish and chips - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! While cod is traditional, you can substitute it with haddock, pollock, or tilapia for similar results. Just ensure the fillets are firm and thick enough to hold up during frying.
Greek yogurt can be replaced with sour cream or mayonnaise for a creamier texture, or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan alternative. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Swap wheat flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the breading. Double-check that your mustard and other condiments are gluten-free certified.
Store fish and chips separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days in the fridge. Reheat fish in an oven at 175℃ for 10 minutes to retain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
Absolutely! Lightly coat potatoes and fish with oil, then air-fry at 200℃—potatoes for 20-25 minutes (shake halfway) and fish for 8-10 minutes, flipping once.
Classic pairings include mushy peas, coleslaw, or pickled onions. For a lighter option, try a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
Yes! Freeze breaded fish on a tray until solid (1-2 hours), then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes per side.
For extra crunch, add 1-2 tbsp cornstarch to the flour mix, or double-dip the fish in the sauce and flour mixture before frying.
