…and Mary Poppins, of course.
When I arrived in this city, one and a half years ago, I was shocked by the number of Fish and Chips shops on the streets. Most of them advertise themselves as “The Best” or “Five Star” in their company logo, which makes sense because who would buy that Pollock if it was advertised as “Not the Best”?
But who’s eating all that fish? And what else are these people eating? Anyway…
I tried a different version of this famous dish, but don’t cook it when you have to feed a crowd! Prepare it only when you want to impress not more than 2 people, for example, if your neighbor or friend is coming over. Definitely not when your guests are starving!
For them, you can prepare the traditional fish and chips, and just show these special ones, as a tease.
If I’m preparing sour cream dip I always cheat a bit, using a few spoons of Greek yogurt to save myself from extra calories.
Not that it really matters after eating fish and chips, but it makes me feel better and that really matters.
Crunchy Deep Fried Sprats with Dill Sauce
For the sauce:
- 150 ml sour cream
- 1 grated garlic clove
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh dill
- pinch of salt
Coat the cleaned and salted sprats with flour and deep fry them for 2-3 minutes.
Cut the boiled potatoes into wedges and deep fry them for 1 minute until they are crispy and golden brown.
Use skewers for decoration.
Say Cheese!
