Italian Fresh Herb Baked Fish and Chips is a fast an so delicious meal, save the calories and get more flavour in this 30 minute meal. The perfect family dinner.
Tomorrow, Good Friday in Italy is celebrated with an all Fish Day. Believe it or not it isn’t a National Holiday. Easter Monday is.
Fish is served at lunch and of course at dinner. From a delicious Italian Seafood Salad appetizer to maybe a Seafood Linguine or one of our favourite Pasta dishes Smoked Salmon Cream Sauce, to a couple of second plates consisting of Baked Trout or Sautéed Shrimp.
And now I have decided to serve my family this delicious Italian Fresh Herb Baked Fish and Chips.
Since I arrived in Italy I have become more of a fish lover, probably because the Italian and all our friends are big on fish.
Italian Fresh Herb Baked Fish and Chips
In the last few days, when my eldest daughter was visiting our amazing “Cook Friends” made one of the best Risotto alla Crema di Scampi (Prawn Risotto), I have ever eaten. One of those takes-time-but-so-worth-it dishes.
This Italian Fresh Herb Baked Fish and Chips recipe takes much less time and is also really tasty.
I made this Baked Fish Dish with one of my favourite fish, Perch. You could always substitute it with a halibut, trout or even cod, just make sure your filet is a thicker slice and your potatoes a thinner slice.
That way they both cook to perfection. Fish and Chips don’t have to be breaded and fried to be delicious! Buon Appetito! And Happy Easter to all!
