– Mediterranean Fish & Chips with Homemade Tartar Sauce –
I have always had a love affair with fish & chips, there is just nothing better than crunchy battered fish that is dipped in tartar sauce and then followed with some french fries! This is British comfort food at its best. Now, even though the British claim origin to this dish, it is fully enjoyed throughout the entire globe. Having 2 kids, this is a dish I have to make often, my kids are absolutely in-love with this recipe, and it´s a great way to get them to eat more fish! This recipe of fish & chips with homemade tartar sauce is loaded with amazing flavors and it´s much healthier than the typical fish & chips that you will eat at a restaurant. The chips (french fries) in this recipe are baked, and the tartar sauce is made with Greek yogurt (happy waistline 🙂 ). Who said comfort food can´t be tasty and healthy?
