"If you find the regular fish and chip recipe greasy, too fattening and not exciting any more try my version. Yummy, spicy and not as fatty. When it come to cooking, I like it as it is full of flavours and SPICE."

I made coleslaw and the fish - did not make sweet potato fries. Used wild caught bass instead of mackerel. The coleslaw was very tasty and enjoyed the addition of curry and currants. First time using chickpea flour for dredging fish but they came out very nicely crunchy without the heaviness. The fish was perfect! Although this recipe says dipping sauce, I could not find it in the recipe unless it refers to the marinade the fish goes into initially. I also liked the idea of squeezing out the cabbage mixture first to remove some of the liquid before adding in mayonnaise. That worked out really well. Thank you for posting this recipe.
