If there’s one thing we Brits are known for when it comes to food, it’s fish and chips. According to a recent YouGov poll it is our second-favourite meal after roast chicken. And no wonder. The flaky fish wrapped in crispy golden batter, alongside a portion of chips, that are fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside, make it a winner every time.
Who wouldn’t enjoy a trip to the local friers for a chippy tea on a Friday night? But if your food budget is a bit squeezed, making a fakeaway fish and chips is a smart money-saving move, and it means you have a say over what goes onto your plate. Want beer batter? No problem. Are you vegan? Don't worry - we have an alternative! Dive into our fish and chips recipes and recreate the ultimate comfort food in your kitchen, all ready to plate up in under an hour.
BEER-BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS
Serves: 2
Ready in: 50 mins
Start with the classic, beer-batter-covered fish and chips, cut to your liking. Mix flour with lager and soy sauce to make a light and airy bite – plus, it crisps up brilliantly. You can barely taste the beer, but you can swap it in with soda water for the same effect if you prefer.

Serves: 4
Ready in: 45 mins
A favourite in pubs and bars, serve up ‘posh’ fish and chips for a fraction of the price with our fish goujons and smashed peas. To amp up your white fish, stir freshly ground black pepper into your batter and add the peas to fried onion and ginger, with a twist of lime. Delicious.
FISH AND CHIPS WITH MUSHY PEAS
Serves: 2
Ready in: 45 mins
There are variations on the nation’s preferred sides served with this dish, from curry sauce and gravy to pickled egg, but the classic has to be mushy peas. To get the authentic ‘mush,’ blend quark cheese into boiled peas and serve in a little dish on the plate.
