fish (and chips) recipe

[mella]

I really fancy fish and chips for tea one night and was looking at the main SW site for how to do the fish. One of the ingredients listed is 'breadcrumbs' - does this mean the breadcrumbs that you buy in a tub, or made out of wholemeal bread and using my Hep B?

Thanks

It would mean a HeB of breadcrumbs Unless they've counted it as syns for Golden Breadcrumbs.

I thought that it was wholemeal ones too, but it doesn't say anything about adding syns if bread not a hep b, but does say to syn the fish if not using as a hep b on green?

In that case, they've used wholemeal bread If you weren't using it as a HeB you would have to syn it - it would be 3 syns per slice of wholemeal bread from a 400g loaf xx

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Place the cod fillets in a bowl, sprinkle over the lemon juice and season well. Leave to marinate for an hour.
2. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut into thick chips. Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the chips for 5 minutes. Drain and dry on kitchen paper. Return to the dry pan and shake to ‘rough up’ the edges. Transfer to a non-stick baking sheet, spray with Fry Light and season well.
