De-battered pollock!

Now, this should probably go on the food and nutrition board, but I figured more brits would eat fish and chips, and as I showed great restraint in the canteeen at lunchtime eating my fish but not the batter (it oozed oil unpleasantly when I pierced it with my fork) I was wondering how to log it. I think I'll probably go for around 6oz fish and 10 g vegetable oil...it must have picked something up in the cooking process - does that sound reasonable?

If it was cooked in batter, then the fish would have absorbed surprisingly little oil. The batter acts as a barrier which keeps the fish moist. So most of the calories (carbs) are in the oily batter.

I love breaded fish and have it at least once a week... not with chips, but potato croquettes (Waitrose or Aunt Bessie's), peas and coleslaw. I could save 200kc on the coleslaw... but it's not the same without.

I know it certainly used to be the case that on slimming world you could have fish from the chip shop and it was free if you removed the batter. I myself could never envisage having battered cod on my plate and only eating the cod so have never done it. So the person above must be right. Well done you for not eating the batter by the way!
