Ok thank you
Colour: The colour of the fish was a lovely golden brown colour on the outer layer! When you bite into the fish it was pure white!
Flavour: The flavour of the fish was a fishy taste haha! But the batter had a hint of lemon, I didn’t really like that!
Texture: The texture of the fish was a bit chewy,The batter was crunchy!!
Colour: The chips were a golden orange colour, with chilly flakes on them!
Flavour: They were very spicy! In my opinion sweet potato chips are not my favourite!
The next time i would put less lemon in my breadcrumbs, and less chilli flake on my chips! Other than that i really enjoyed making homemade fish and chips!
Very honest evaluation, what skills did you learn today? How well did you carry them out? Oven management, timing, breading of the fish, knife skills, organisation and serving. Why don’t you say that the fish had a dominant fishy taste however the lemon rind and juice masked this. The fish itself was flaky and melted in your mouth and this contrasted with the breaded outer layer. excellent work and well done in todays class.

The sweet potatoe chips 🍟
