Young’s Chip Shop Cod Fillets Recipe

Strawberries & Cream, Sausage & Mash, Tea & Biscuits, Ant & Dec, yep, there are some British treats that you just can’t imagine without the other. But our favourite of all? It’s got to be Fish & Chips.

Whilst we might not splurge on a chip shop version every week, we’d be keen to try this homemade take on the classic. With a unique crisp, bubbly batter, Young’s Chip Shop helps you to recreate the authentic taste of the chippy at home. Using 100% white flaky responsibly sourced cod, each fillet comes in at just 243 calories – a totally guilt free weekday treat.

Young’s have teamed up with This Morning’s Ruth Langsford to bring us these delicious recipes for homemade curry sauce, chips and minted mushy peas. All you need to do is add Young’s Chip Shop Cod Fillets – simple!

 

We’d recommend pairing this dish with a can of Camden Town’s Gentleman’s Wit – An English take on the Belgian wit (white) beer, the bergamot and lemon zest of Earl Grey tea works really well with fish.
