Fakeaway Fish and Chips
This fakeaway fish and chips recipe won’t leave you feeling like you miss the real thing, because it’s so much better. With that little ‘greasy element’ coming from the butter baked fish, sweet potato fries rich in nutrients and those green veg on the side, you won’t miss that local chippy one bit.
Rather than being high in grease and simple carbs, this take on fish and chips contains lots of nutrients such as complex carbs, vitamin C, iron and more… it’s certainly a lot better for you than it’s takeaway cousin. Add a wedge of lemon on the side to finish it off!
Go on, give it a go! You won’t be disappointed…

- 150 g white fish cod or smoked haddock
- 10 g unsalted butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 handful spinach
- 1 bunch tenderstem brocolli
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Preheat your oven to gas mark 7 or 180oC fan oven.
- Chop your sweet potato into chip-like chunks. Place them on a baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grab a square of tin foil and place your fish into it. Onto the fish place the knob of butter, salt and pepper. Wrap the tin foil to form a parcel. When the chips only have ten minutes left, add the fish to the oven along with the chips and cook both together for the remaining ten minutes.
- Meanwhile boil some water in a pan and add your tenderstem brocolli. Cook for 5 minutes or so.
- When everything is nearly done add your spinach to a bowl with a little bit of butter and cook in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Serve everything on a plate together or if you're going for 'something posh' serve like tapas. Tapas is posh, right!?
