Homemade fish and chips


1 Lemon 1 British Free-Range Egg 1 Tsp Dried Dill 30g Panko Breadcrumbs 400g Potatoes 80g Sugar Snap Peas 2 X 100g Basa Fillets 1 Mayonnaise Sachet (10ml)


  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7. Cut the potatoes (skins on) into chips. Add the chips to a baking tray with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up. Put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp.
  2. Boil a kettle. Combine the mayonnaise with the dried dill, the juice of 1/2 [1] lemon and a pinch of salt – this is your dill mayonnaise.
  3. Once the chips are almost cooked, pat the basa fillets dry with kitchen paper.
  4. Add a handful of flour to a plate with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and beat with a fork. Add the panko breadcrumbs to another plate. Coat the fish fillets in the flour, tap off the excess, then add them into the beaten egg and finally press them into the breadcrumbs firmly to evenly coat all over.
  5. Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil (enough to cover the base of the pan) over a medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded fish and cook for 4-5 min on each side or until golden and cooked through.
  6. Meanwhile, add the sugar snap peas to a pot and cover them in plenty of boiled water. Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 3-4 min or until tender. Once tender, drain the sugar snap peas and return them to the pot with a drizzle of olive oil.
  7. Serve the crispy fish with the chips, sugar snap peas and dill mayonnaise to the side. Garnish with a wedge of lemon. Enjoy!
