Recipe Information

Step by step guide to making Easy peasy fish and chips

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Place the potatoes in a bowl and toss with the olive oil. Transfer to a non-stick baking tray and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, scatter the breadcrumbs over a baking tray and bake in the oven for 2 minutes, until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare the fish coatings by putting the flour onto a plate. Crack the egg into a bowl and beat, and tip the cooked breadcrumbs onto another plate.
  4. Pat dry the fish fillets using kitchen paper. Firstly coat the fillets in the flour on the plate, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.
  5. Place the coated fish on a baking tray and bake with the chips for the final 12 minutes, until cooked through.
  6. Boil the frozen peas for 3-4 minutes. Drain the peas, reserving 100ml of the cooking water, and return them to the pan. Using a potato masher, crush the drained peas with the reserved water.
  7. Check the fish is cooked all the way through and serve with stacks of the chunky chip and crushed peas.

Cook's tip: You could add some finely chopped herbs or grated lemon zest to the breadcrumbs for a tasty alternative. The easiest way to make fresh breadcrumbs is to whizz slices (with crusts removed) of bread in a food processor. 

Make it veggie: Try serving the chips and peas with 1 x 360g pack Sainsbury's vegetable dunkers.
