So my hubby wants fish and chips... obviously I can't do the chips part... I'm going to fry the fish in a coating of almond flour, but what to do as a side?!?!
Anything that can resemble a fried potato? The traditional British fish and chips is served with green peas, thick French fries "aka chips", and malt vinegar.
Any ideas?

    Roasted zucchini or eggplant strips? Or the same fried if you're wanting to fry everything.

    You can fry up zucchini, I had one of those cutters that make perfect french fry cuts. Get as much of the water out of them as possible and they can fry up very well. I no longer have that cutter, so I just cut them into rounds. You can also cut them like fries and bake in the oven.

    I would suggest using coconut flour for the fish batter. It works well on chicken too.

    I've tried the eggplant fries recipe above and although I am generally not a fan of eggplant, I LOVE this recipe. They are SOOOOOO good!!

    I haven't tried it and I don't have plans to since I'm not eating plants, but my friend swears that
    You can cook radishes and they taste like potatoes. I know I've seen lots of people posting radish dishes on keto Facebook groups and they are freaking out about how they taste like potatoes.
    Anyway, maybe look into if you can slice and fry them like chips???
