Roasted and devoured tonight, and thoroughly enjoyed! This will be repeated soon, likely with company because it was so fantastic! Chips were crispy and flavorful – not greasy at all. Fish was delish – the panko worked very well as a jacket for the cod. Thanks for a just superb recipe, the cook!!!

Baked Fish And Chips Toppings

Here are a reliable ways to finish this meal:

Tartar Sauce

When it comes to serving this Baked Fish and Chips, tartar sauce is a must, in my opinion. The combination of juicy fish sticks and this tangy sauce is the BEST!
You can make it ahead of time, because the flavor only gets better with time. And if you happen to have any leftovers, it makes for a great veggie dip or even a flavor booster for your tuna patties.

Lemon & Parmesan

We also love serving lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over the fish.
When it comes to the potato wedges, we like to use a microplane to freshly grate some Parmesan cheese on top of them right out of the oven.
Serve those wedges with ketchup and/or fry sauce on the side for dipping!

Fish and Chips Tips

Here are some tips to help you make the best Baked Fish and Chips:

Cut the potatoes into wedges of uniform size so that they cook evenly.
Fully dry the potatoes before coating them in oil and seasonings.
Make sure the fish is completely dry before coating it, as this will help the coating stick better and result in a crispier texture.
Keep an eye on the cooking time. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of your fish and chips.

Quick Tip

What’s Panko? Panko is a special kind of breadcrumb. Unlike regular breadcrumbs, panko is made in a way that gives it a lighter, chunkier texture. This makes it great for baking foods because it helps them get a nice, crispy crunch.
