    I haven't tried it but this looks like a good alternative...

    I would tweak it a little by using whole wheat flour or using a cereal like corn flakes if you want a different texture and serving it with sweet potato fries or turnip fries.

    Small changes can make a big difference...

    Bake instead of frying. If you can, try not to use oil altogether by using cooking spray on your baking sheet. Dip fish into egg (or just egg whites) and try using corn flakes or your favorite low fat crackers crushed up (nothing made with white flour) instead of breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with a dash of sea salt (unless you can omit salt altogether) and pepper for flavor. As for the "chips" try using sweet potatoes cut thin like fries, dipped in egg sprinkled with sea salt and pepper and throw on the baking sheet as well.

    If your craving something, dont deny yourself, just create substitutes where ever you can. :) Hope this was helpful.

    There is a Malt flavored salt you could add for more flavor.
