Potato Chip Fish

Fresh fish coated in spicy, flavorful potato chips. Perfect for a fun entertaining meal

The other day one of my friends was talking about a meal she had recently eaten at a restaurant here {in New Orleans}. I can't remember where it was but I can remember what she ordered...

Red fish coated in Zapp's Potato Chips

Uh, I think I started drooling when she described it, and I immediately knew it would have to be something I tried as soon as possible.

If you are unlucky, and don't have access to Zapp's Potato Chips, then I think any kettle cooked chips will do.

If you are lucky and have access to Zapp's then pick your favorite flavor. You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors. They're all good. I used Spicy Cajun Crawtators and Voodoo. Both were amazing!

This recipe is great because it requires only a few ingredients: milk, egg, hot sauce {optional}, fish, chips, and oil. No other seasonings are needed because the chips give so much yummy flavor.

I loved this dish and served it with roasted vegetables to add some nutritional value. This meal is a real treat & enjoyed by everyone!
