The perfect winter appetizer, batter fish is a quick and easy recipe to prepare at home. Battered with maida and parsley and seasoned with just salt and pepper, here’s our version of the quintessential batter fried which is easy and quick to prepare. There’s no better comfort food for a Newfoundlander than fish and chips. Everyone has their own opinions on where to get the best fee and chee, but with a little effort you can make your own. I like this version very much. The trick to getting it right is the consistency of the batter.

Handful of parsley, finely chopped
Oil (for deep frying)
