Young's Fish and Chips

Young’s Chip Shop Cod Fillets with Home Made Potato Wedges & Dill-Tartare Sauce

Young's Fish and Chips

Hands’ up, who else loves fish and chips? Who else loves fish and chips but can’t face leaving the house and visiting the nearest chippie (which is our case is an hour’s round trip drive, plus waiting time!), or just don’t have the time or inclination to do so? Young’s large cod fish fillets to the rescue! With their unique, crisp, bubbly batter Young’s cod fillets are the Nation’s (and our!) favourite battered cod for making a chip shop style fish supper at home.

We’ve teamed up with Young’s Seafood to share our recipe for a quick and easy homemade fish supper. Ruth Langsford, TV presenter for This Morning, has also teamed up with Young’s Seafood to show us just how easy it is for busy parents to whip up a chip shop style chippie at home. For my recipe I’ve made some homemade potato wedges and a simple dill tartare sauce, while Ruth shows us how to make herbed potato wedges, curry sauce and minted mushy peas. Just watch the video below to find out how!

My Fish Dish with Ruth Langsford

Frozen battered responsibly sourced cod fish fillets are a great standby option to have in the freezer for quick midweek meals that the kids (well, mine at least!) will actually eat without complaints. A hassle-free meal like this can be ready in under 45 minutes, great for busy parents. It’s also a healthier alternative to eating out.

With my home made dill tartare recipe you can use lighter than light mayo and fat free yogurt for a very low calorie sauce, and Young’s large battered cod fillets are only 243 calories each!

Young's Fish and Chips

In addition to sharing some fab recipes, Ruth has shared some of her own top mealtime tips for family meals.

Ruth’s top mealtime tips:

1. Get the whole family together as much as possible – with different working hours, homework deadlines and social plans it can be very tricky to spend quality time together as a family. Try and schedule a dine-in night at least twice a week where you can eat dinner together and talk about your days.

2. No phones at the dinner table – family mealtimes should mean quality time together. With a no phones rule, everyone gets to spend time together chatting and enjoying a delicious dinner.

3. Use your freezer – it can be difficult to find healthy options that everyone will enjoy during a busy week but having delicious meals in the freezer means there will always be something quick and tasty ready to be served.

4. Eat fish more often– fish is naturally low in fat, yet high in protein, vitamins and minerals including omega 3. Young’s take all the hard work out of preparing delicious fish meals so you can enjoy it more often in the week.

5. Try something new – keep mealtimes exciting by adding a new dish to your repertoire every so often. The Young’s website has loads of recipe inspiration so take a look and let the compliments start rolling in!

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 200 C fan.
  • Cut your unpeeled potatoes into eighths to make chunky potato wedges. Place in a bowl and cover in cold water while you prepare the tartare sauce.

  • Drain the potato wedges and pat dry with paper towel. Dry the bowl and place the wedges back into the bowl. Drizzle over the oil and use your hands to make sure the wedges are coated in oil.
  • Arrange the potato wedges on a large baking tray, season with the sea salt flakes and bake for 15 minutes.

  • Serve your Young's Chip Shop cod fillets with the potato wedges, the dill-tartare sauce and lemon wedges.

    Fish and chips is such a staple of the British diet, and one that I absolutely embraced. I prefer the chippy, but when you can’t be bothered it’s great to have a good quality frozen alternative. I have a difficult time finding a good one, but can 100% vouch that the Young’s chip shop range comes close. Being in the NW of England I must have gravy with my chippie chips! x

    I’ve been known to whip up a mean fish and egg burger, using Young’s Chip Shop cod and they taste blinkin’ AMAZING (if I may say so myself). Def going to whip up a batch of your dill tartare sauce – it looks delicious!! x

    Fish and chips is one of the best things ever. I love doing ‘fakeaways’, especially when I’m on a diet because I can track what I’m eating and control my portions. I used to work in a proper chip shop when I was younger and ate everything going. Love the top meal tips and this is going on our meal plan x

    Oooh, this looks delicious. I’m really fussy with fish though and will only eat cod… Every other fish just tastes fishy.

    This looks so good! We are lucky enough that all the Chippy’s in Aberdeen deliver so we never have to put any effort into our takeout haha. These look like a great healthier alternative though that I’ll definitely make for my husband one days x

    I loved the photo of this you shared on Instagram. Youngs is one of my favourite fish brands and I always buy it when I can. Their fish cakes are probably my favourite.

    This looks absolutely delicious! We always go for wedges too. Our goal this summer is to eat together more as a family. Its not always easy as my husband works away all week but I try to sit with the kids as much as I can when he’s not here, and at weekends its non negotiable! So important x
