Fish and parsnip chips (gluten-free)

Fish and chips

Who’s having fish and chips on Good Friday? We are! Yay, I can hear my son saying !!  Fish and chips are really simple to make but it is really important  to get fresh, good quality fish. I started using potato flour to dust the fish, it  is gluten free and crisps up nicely. Instead of using potato  for the chips I am making parsnip chips, they take a little bit of time to cook but it’s worth the wait especially sprinkled  with some fresh rosemary salt, yum : ).
