Fish & Chips

Fish & Chips recipe, eat well on universal credit

Fish & Chips was once an inexpensive treat to eat in the evening as supper, or maybe on the way home from the pub. Pubs? You remember those, maybe?

I passed a chippy last week in an area of York where I’d not expect prices to be excessive. £7.20 for Fish and Chips to take out. Just Fish & Chips, nothing else……

You can do better at home folks at half the price…..

This Pollock fillet was £3.29 with a Yellow Sticker on it. It was skinned and I only found two small bones.

Ingredients for the Gluten free Batter:-

2 Eggs, whisked
Cornflour
Turmeric Just a bit to add some colour
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Fresh ground Black Pepper
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Coat the Fish (and Onion rings if you adding them) in Cornflour.
(2) Preheat the fryer to 170c.
(3) Dunk in the batter mix and fry until they float.

We served ours with Peas, Onion Rings, hand cut Chips, Tartar Sauce and a slice of Lemon. Honestly this was much better than a take-out and cost less than half the price.

Roast Pork Ribs, Celeriac Coleslaw & Chips

Yellow Sticker gig again, the ribs were a little over £2. Sometimes there is more bone than meat, but these were pretty meaty.

Celeriac was out “Universal Soldier this time last year but this year they have been quite small and pricey, until now. The one we have in the fridge is a good sized creature and cost the princely sum of 60p. We like a home made Coleslaw as it’s a tasty and low cost plate filler.

The Coleslaw is really simple:-

Ingredients:-

1 medium Onion
1 Carrot, pealed
A slice of Celeriac pealed
Pepper
Mayonnaise
Smashed up Black Lime

Method:-

(1) Cut all the vegetables into very thin strips.
(2) Mix everything in sufficient Mayonnaise to coat.
(3) Sprinkle with smashed Black Lime and freshly ground Black Pepper.

If you don’t have Black Lime (most folk really I guess?!) A squeeze of Lemon juice will do the trick.
