Fish and chips, anyone?

Ok so just admit that you absolutely love fried food..no matter how healthy you claim to be, no matter how much you say you don't like fried stuff, deep down inside you do =) well, at least I do..
For the sake of self-comfort, fish and chips are'nt THAT bad if you make it yourself and use good oil.
So here it is
Fish and chips with a spinach and almond pesto


The fish, I used Basa fish because it has a really nice texture (fish and chips perfect). 
Wait till you see the "chips"
 
 Oh yeah

ooey gooey cheese incased potato sticks
 For these, I used mozarella cheese cos its just sooo good...
 These took some time to make but totally worth while

 I used Basa fish..its one of the cheaper types of fish but it has a really nice texture, perfect for this.

So the fish and "chips" were first dredged in flour, dipped in egg, covered in bread crumbs and then into the hot tub......of oil.

Spinach and almond pesto:
1/4 cups roasted whole almonds
250g baby spinach
4 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil 

Blend the almonds till they are roughly chopped.
Add in the spinach and blend till combined. 
Add in oils and a good pinch of salt. Blend it to combine.
