Chip Shop style fish and chips made easy with Young’s Chip Shop Cod Fillets, homemade chips, minted mushy peas and curry sauce!
My daughter’s favourite meal at the moment is without doubt fish and chips. She gets so excited when it’s fish and chip day at school and loves nothing more than a treat tea from the fish and chip shop and it seems that most of the nation agree! So when Young’s got in touch to see if I wanted to try out their Chip Shop range I jumped at the chance.
Making your own fish and chips at home is fun but sometimes can be a little too laborious when you are short on time. But Young’s have made it super simple with their versatile Chip Shop range which includes these delicious cod fillets in crispy batter to recreate the authentic taste of the chippy at home.
To serve alongside our crispy cod fillets Young’s gave me a recipe for delicious and easy seasoned homemade chips, minted mushy peas and curry sauce, the perfect accompaniments to this hearty family meal! You can get the full recipe below and see exactly how it’s made in the video hosted by Ruth Langsford.
Young’s development chef Serge’s top tip to make the most of the Chip Shop unique, crispy, bubbly batter is to cook it on a wire rack. Genius!
My family absolutely loved this meal and my daughter has already requested that I make it again for tea this week. Young’s Chip Shop Cod Fillets went down a treat and at just 243 calories a portion, felt way less stodgy than a chipper dinner. They’re also made with 100% succulent white flaky fish and are responsibly sourced, so you know you are buying quality produce.
