About Fish in batter

Fish in batter is a popular dish commonly associated with British cuisine, particularly served as part of the iconic fish and chips meal. It features fillets of fish, often cod, haddock, or pollock, coated in a mixture of flour, eggs, and liquid—typically beer or water. The batter is seasoned and deep-fried until golden and crispy, enveloping the fish in a crunchy exterior while preserving its tender, flaky texture inside. The dish is high in protein due to the fish, offering beneficial omega-3 fatty acids that support heart and brain health. However, it is calorie-dense and can be high in saturated fats due to deep frying. Opting for lighter alternatives like baking or air frying can make it healthier while maintaining its signature flavor. Typically enjoyed with sides like chips and tartar sauce, Fish in Batter exemplifies comfort food with varying nutritional trade-offs depending on preparation methods.
