Unless you're lucky enough to live near a really, really good chippy fish and chips can often disappoint, the taste rarely living up to that irresistible smell. Recreating the dish at home it a different story, however, with crisp, golden chips piled high next to a piece of only the freshest, most succulent white fish. There's no risk of homemade fish and chips gently steaming and softening in the paper on the way home, or people over-vinegared and seasoned by an enthusiastic cashier: revolutionise your Friday nights with our collection of fish and chips recipes - just don't forget the buttered white bread!

Fish and chips is a true British classic, and there are several elements that must not be missed - the sauce, the vegetables, the wedge of lemon. Nathan Outlaw's Fish and chips recipe comes served with homemade tartare sauce, while Dominic Chapman serves his Beehive fish and chips with vibrant mushy peas. Josh Eggleton, too, includes all of these elements in his Beer-battered fish and chips and even includes a mayonnaise recipe to form the base for his tartare sauce.
