Method

  1. Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl whisk together yoghurt, flour, a pinch of salt, pepper and the lemon juice to form a thick batter.
  3. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat.
  4. Dip each fish piece into the batter, letting excess drip off, then fry until golden, about 3‑4 minutes per side.
  5. While the fish cooks, toss the chips with a drizzle of coconut oil, salt and pepper; spread on a baking tray and bake at 200 °C for 15 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp.
  6. Serve the golden fish atop a mountain of chips, garnished with the sliced onion for a bite of bite‑size crunch.

If the batter feels too runny, give it a minute—flour will soak up the extra yoghurt and tighten up.

Goes rather well with Cue a swash‑buckling sea‑shanty playlist while you feast.
