Fish and (not chips) Mashed Potatoes with Cole Slaw

Fish and (not chips) Mashed Potatoes with Cole Slaw

This is not the first time I made Fish and (not chips) Mashed Potatoes with Cole Slaw. My husband loves Fish and Chips but he doesn't like dory. The restaurants normally used dory instead or other fish. My husband says that there's a weird taste he couldn't tolerate. So, I did some initiative to make a home cooked version of Fish and chips (except mine served without chips). I've tried  a few recipe but still couldn't find a perfect batter recipe. I combined a few recipe that I've tried and this one is almost perfect. It is crisp on the outside and moist in the inside.

The first thing you have to prepare is the slaw. It has to be serve chilled. Then the mash potatoes and later the fish. I used sea-bass all this while.

One of staff went fishing and sold me this 2 feet long sea-bass for RM15.00. The fillet was thick and sweet. I cut the fillets to six slabs and freeze two of them for next time. It is quite a big fish.
