The outcome:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe chickpea battered cod itself was every bit of the discovery I\u2019d hoped it would be! I could definitely taste the chickpea and a blend of all the Indian spices that accompanied it nicely, but with the comforting familiar grease of chip shop batter, and light fluffy cod to balance it all out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the Welsh Lavercakes, I could definitely see the potential but am sure that somewhere between choosing lard over bacon fat, and dried seaweed over traditional laverbread I had done it an injustice! I have since found a few more recipes and ordered some proper laverbread, that arrived a few days ago, and am ready to give it another bash! I will use bacon this time too…and perhaps trial some of the recipes written on the back of the tin…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this dish, I would also suggest making your own fresh tartar sauce rather than a commercial one. There are some great recipes out there with a real pickley kick that I think will cut through a lot of the flavours and fats in this dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall I found Fish in Chicks to be a full flavoured success! The lavercakes (properly prepared) worked nicely as a chip substitute, anchoring the dish to a coastal association; bringing the fresh salty taste of the sea to the side of the chickpea fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could this be a preview of a future where chickpeas are sewn across the British Isles, and start being snuck into all manner of recipes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
