If you know me at all, you know I really don’t care about making sure my recipes are “light” or “healthy” or “skinny” or whatever.  The Paleo/Primal way of eating, by definition, is a hell of a lot better than the Standard American Diet, and I’ve found that just avoiding crappy ingredients makes a world of difference–even when you’re making comfort food.  Fish and Chips happens to be one of my all time favorite comfort foods, so I got some tilapia and some sweet potatoes, was all set to make up a nice batter and fry everything up in some coconut oil, and then…I just pooped out.  I’m mid-move, you guys.  I’m tired.  I’m cranky.  I just wanted dinner on the table when Ross came home and was NOT in the mood for anything requiring any cranial activity.

So, here’s what I did…I made sweet potato fries like I always do, except with some vinegar because that’s how they always give them to you when the whole mess is served out of a truck wrapped in newspaper.  Then I took the fish, threw them on a baking sheet, and seasoned the heck out of them with all the flavors that you’d expect from the fried variety.  Think lemon, thyme, a little oregano, garlic, and (obviously) salt.  I know every recipe varies the batter a little bit but I really tried to capture what I would say (in my own experience) is the quintessential fish and chips experience.  And it definitely did not disappoint.  But I was tired, so maybe I’m just full of it.  Either way, the whole thing took 30 minutes, most of it spent racked on the couch, so I’ll call that a win.
