Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 200 grams salt and vinegar potato chips
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 30 ml milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 120 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) to keep the fish warm after frying, if needed.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels, and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place the salt and vinegar potato chips in a resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the chips into crumbs, then transfer them to a shallow dish.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with the crushed potato chips.
Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then press it into the potato chip crumbs, coating both sides thoroughly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated fish fillets, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Once cooked, transfer the fish fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Place them in the preheated oven to keep warm while finishing the remaining fillets.
Serve the salt and vinegar potato chip fish immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing, along with your favorite sides such as coleslaw or roasted vegetables.
