We may have an unwavering loyalty to our local chippy, but tonight we’re turning to the kitchen and making this version of fish and mushy peas instead.  The difference being that the ‘peas’ are broad beans. And the ‘batter’ is as far from the deep fat fryer as you can get.  And cod isn’t even an unethical choice anymore. This fish used to be a byword for unsustainability but stocks are on the up and by picking your portions carefully you can help keep it that way. Look out for the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) blue tick or ask your fishmonger about the fish’s provenance – they should know.  ‘Line-caught’ and ‘seabirdfriendly  longlining’ are  sustainability buzz words, and the  Eastern Baltic, North East Arctic  and Iceland are areas where cod fisheries are well managed. And if you want to add ketchup, well that’s entirely up to you.
