When I stumbled upon this recipe, I had my doubts since for me it's always been beer battered/fried halibut for fish and chips. I tried this recipe anyway and I'M GLAD I DID!!! This is incredibly good! I used the melted butter recipe (as opposed to the beaten egg recipe), and that's what I'm doing today for dinner tonight. NUMMMMMMMMY!

    I made this recipe for a dinner party last night. I put the fish on sliced purple cabbage, topped with homemade tartar sauce. Instead of using russet potatoes for the chips, I baked yam fries with curry powder. It was easy to prepare and was a huge hit. Thanks!

    WOW, DH said this was the best coated fish he has ever had ! He loved it... I'm impressed because it was really easy to make. I used butter becuase I thought that if I was going the whole hog on a family sized pack of potato crisps then we could be decadent all the way.. next time I will use egg to compare, also because if this becomes a regular in our house (and it will) then I will need to save a few calories somewhere! I can see this pre-prepared and in the fridge, then into the oven and served for a buffet lunch or dinner becuase yes, it would definiately be a crowd pleaser ! Please see my rating system: 5 wonderful stars for a recipe that's easy and that had DH reaching for thirds long after he admitted he was full becuase he just HAD to finish it, he liked it so much. One note: I didn't use salt becuase I thought that the chips were salty enough and salt loving DH didn't mention that it wasn't salted enough... and if you are making a largish batch be aware that a large family sized bag of potato chips, once dealt to in a food processor, whizzes up smaller than you think. I had ample for 5 pieces of fish, liberally covered, but might have been stretching for more. Great recipe ! Thanks!

    This was super! I used Ruffles sour cream and onion chips and just crumbled them with my hand. I used the butter method as well and added a dash of Old Bay seasoning. I did have to use flounder as the grocery store was out of halibut. I think this would be good on any type of fish. even shrimp or sea scallops. Very unique and easy to prepare. the crunchy topping is outstanding. ~Bird
