Fish and Chips is a popular dish that originated in the United Kingdom and has since become famous worldwide. Traditionally, fish fillets are dipped in beer batter and deep-fried until golden brown. In this recipe, we have opted to use a non-beer batter, making it a healthier version of the classic dish. The haddock fish fillet is light and flaky, and the potatoes are crispy and satisfying. This dish is perfect for a Friday night dinner or a weekend lunch with friends and family.
