Fish & Chip supper for the little ones.........

Alice’s best friend Eryn was over for tea last night.  They both love fish and chips but I wanted to make it a bit more interesting for them, and of course add in a bit of fun!

I managed to get hold of some fish & chip boxes and wooden folks (well I actually had to send Col into work to flirt with the canteen staff for a few boxes)! Anyway, I managed to create a “fish & chip supper by the sea” in my very own kitchen and do you know what…….. the girls absolutely loved it!






I know a lot of people really struggle to get their children to eat and I definitely think the key is to put the fun into food and make it more appealing. Another great tip is to get your kids involved with the prep and the cooking.   Here’s the recipe (if making for the little ones):

Ingredients:

2 small cod fillets (boneless)
1 egg
Plain flour
White bread crumbs
1 large potato
Olive oil
Frozen peas

Method:

Pre-heat the over to 180c or gas mark 5

Get out 3 bowls, one for the beaten egg mixture, one for the flour and one for the breadcrumbs. Dip the cod fillet into the egg mix first, then the flour and finally the breadcrumbs (Alice loves helping me do this bit – great way to get them involved).

Fry the fish fillets in a bit of olive oil (medium heat) - should take about 10 minutes.

Slice the potato into wedges (skin on). Coat in some vegetable oil and put on a baking tray and cook for about 30 minutes until nice and crispy.

Serve with peas and a big dollop of ketchup.

Enjoy!
