Traditional Fish and Chips is a classic dish from the UK that has been enjoyed for centuries. Typically made with whitefish, like cod or haddock, and served with thick cut chips, it's a hearty and filling meal that is perfect to enjoy with family and friends. Although it's a popular fast food option, making it at home allows you to control the quality of ingredients used, lessen the guilt of consuming fried food, and make unlimited versions by using different fish for variety of flavors.

Instructions
