Enhance your culinary experience: A unique recipe for authentic British 'fish and chips'
Dieticians and doctors firmly believe that we should consume fish far more frequently than we currently do. As suggested by the National Institute of Public Health and the European Society of Cardiology, eating fish twice a week can offer numerous health benefits that our bodies will deeply appreciate. Even though the most advisable way to cook fish is by baking or steaming, sometimes the alluring call of battered fish is hard to resist.

There is an abundance of recipes for such a dish. For starters, the most crucial element is the choice of fish species. Familiar selections include cod, pollock, or hake (remember - anything except tilapia or basa!). The next consideration is the batter preparation. Fish is primarily fried simply in flour or a mixture of flour, baking soda, and seltzer water or beer - the necessary ingredients for classic "fish and chips." However, I aim to introduce you to an alternative recipe. Rest assured, you will have no regrets, for this one turns out to be some of the finest battered fish I've ever tasted!
