Fish and chips traditionally are served with tartar sauce or vinegar. But why? Sweet BBQ sauce and salty ranch add a certain delight to these crispy fried fishies, with enough BBQ to dip your Parmesan fries in as well, if you so choose. Tradition is lovely, but innovation can be even tastier. Tip: Easier way to chop parsley? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly chopped!

1 Roast the Potatoes
Cut potato into 1/2" wedges.
Place potato wedges on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes.Spread into a single layer. Roast in hot oven until starting to brown, 15 minutes.Carefully flip wedges and roast again until tender and golden brown, 10-12 minutes.Toss or gently combine roasted wedges with half the seasoning and Parmesan.While potatoes roast, prepare ingredients.RERUN RECOOK: Swap seasoning blend brand (put half the seasoning on the fries and half on the fish, none in the batter anymore), swap legacied parm, remove garlic oil, removed added salt. Have the potatoes bake with ONLY oil and pepper, then when they came out, tossed in a bowl with half the buttermilk dill, the parmesan and the parsley. -
2 Prepare the Ingredients
Coarsely chop parsley (no need to stem).
Finely crush crackers.Pat tilapia dry, and cut into 2" pieces. -
3 Make the Batter
Place canola oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Let heat, 5 minutes.
While oil heats, combine tempura, 1/3 cup cold water, half the seasoning blend (reserve remaining for after frying), and crackers in a mixing bowl. Stir until a thin batter forms.If too thick, add additional cold water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. -
4 Fry the Fish
Line a plate with a paper towel.
Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Working in batches, dip tilapia in batter until fully coated. Let excess batter drip off, then immediately add to hot oil. Cook until golden brown and tilapia reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 3-5 minutes per side.Transfer to towel-lined plate. Season with remaining seasoning blend. -
