Southern Inspired Fish and Chips



It took three tries to nail down this Southern Inspired Fish and Chips recipes. I am happy to say that we have a winner! This recipe was inspired my British country music artist Sasha McVeigh. We took a classic English dish and put a southern spin on it. We paired beer battered flounder with crispy sweet potato fries. We balance both of these out with a tangy lemon and parshly aioli. This combination actually surprised us. This recipe is going to impress your family and friends.

  • Cut the sweet potatoes into 3/8 inch wide sticks.

Fried Fish
