British Olympian: 'Fit But You Know It' Fish n Chips


The final competitor takes center stage. It is the hometown favorite of the London Games, but with a leaner presence compared to previous years. The Brits have already struck Gold at these Olympics, will we hear 'God Save the Queen' once more? Will 'Fit But You Know It' Fish and Chips send the home fans into hysterics ...

Ingredients (serves 2):

1 lb. cod filet
1 tbsp. curry powder
3 tbsp. fat free mayonnaise
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 russet potato
1 sweet potato
sea salt & parsley

1. Cut the cod filet into 4 pieces. Should be the same thickness to ensure even cooking.

2. In a small bowl mix the mayo and curry powder. Coat the top of each filet with the curry mayo and dip into bread crumbs. You should have half of your fish breaded.

3. Let the fish set in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.

4. Peel the russet and sweet potatoes, then slice into chips. You can use a potato slicer to get thin chips or cut them to your preferred thickness.

5. Lay out the sliced potatoes in a pan and season with salt and parsley.

6. Preheat and oven to 425 degrees and add the potatoes for 25 to 45 minutes depending on thickness. They should be crisp on top when you take them out.

7. Add fish to a pan, breaded side up and broil for 3 minutes. Take out and turn over so the breadcrumbs do not burn. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes depending on how thick your cod is.

8. Serve with a side of ketchup and enjoy!

A strong showing from Team GB. The judges are tallying their votes. Who will top the podium?
