Baked Fish and Chips | Slimming World Friendly Fakeaway Recipe
We never need an excuse to devour the nations favourite dish but a takeaway from a proper chippy can set you back more than your daily allowance of Syns. With this unofficial Slimming World friendly recipe you can create your own low Syn fakeaway.
I have made this recipe twice now, once using the oven and once using my new Actifry. So I am going to include both methods in this post. Did I mention I finally purchase an Actifry? It has taken me a little while to get the hang of it but now I am slightly in love. Creating this unofficial Slimming world friendly fish and chips is probably the best thing I have created with it so far.
In this recipe I am using Panko breadcrumbs worth 3 Syns per serving. But there is another (not as good) but still acceptable option. You can use bread from your healthy extra b allowance and blitz it in a blender. I prefer to allow 3 Syns and use the Panko as the taste and texture is worth it.
Why you’ll love this recipe….

Sounds yummy, which version do you feel is closest to a chippy tea but low syn?
The Actifry creates much nicer chips but with the Fish there wasn’t much in it 🙂 To save time you could Actifry the chips and oven bake the fish at the same time x
I use plain couscous instead of Ruskoline nowadays. It is a bit crunchier but otherwise not much different. I spray it with cooking spray and do it in the airfryer or oven
.
I use couscous to coat a lot of things but since it became a tweak i tend to try other things 🙂 x
I’ve got an also airfryer, it’s cross between a halogen and air fryer, thanks for the recipe, I will try it tonight.
Looks good. I doubt my ability of making look as good as you have.
