This Whole30 Fish and Chips is a delicious paleo version of the classic English dish of fried fish and fries/potatoes. This comes together in less than 30 minutes on one sheet pan!

I’ve started to incorporate more fish (mainly salmon) into my diet over the past year because of all of the health benefits it provides. Omega 3 fatty acids reduce inflammation in the body and are incredibly important for brain health. Fish is loaded with tons of other important nutrients including protein, vitamin D, calcium & phosphorus. And…it’s delicious! I can’t believe there was a time in my life when I didn’t like salmon, because now I’m pretty sure I could eat it everyday.
I received a package a couple of weeks ago from Sizzlefish – a company that ships high quality seafood straight to your doorstep! They sent the Paleo Prime Plus package which includes 14 portions:
- 4 – 4 oz+ Portions Sockeye Salmon
- 2 – 4 oz+ Portions Halibut
- 2 – 4 oz+ Portions Haddock
- 2 – 4 oz+ Portions Atlantic Cod
- 2 – 4 oz+ Packs Shrimp (8 Shrimp Per Pack)
- 2 – 4 oz+ Packs Scallops (4 Scallops Per Pack)
What makes Sizzle Fish so great?!
It can be tricky to find wild-caught, sustainably sourced fish in your average grocery store, so I love the fact that Sizzlefish provides easy access to high quality seafood. Plus, as a busy mom, I don’t have time to drive to the only Whole Foods near us which is 45 minutes away!
So far I’ve been very impressed with the size, taste, and quality of everything we received. I like that all of the fish comes individually-packaged, so I can make lunch for myself without having to cook multiple portions if I want to!
This week I am doing a 7-day Whole30 reset and decided to make one of my favorite dishes- Fish & Chips – with healthier, compliant ingredients. The Sizzlefish Cod turned out so delicious.

Whole30 Fish & Chips
Ingredients
Fish
- 2-3 cod fillets approximately 1-1.5 lbs, thawed if previously frozen
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Potatoes
- 1 lb baby potatoes halved, any color works!
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Tartar Sauce
- 1/2 cup compliant mayo I like Sir Kensington's Avocado Oil Mayo (it's now sugar free!)
- 1.5 tbsp franks red hot
- 1 large pickle diced fine
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425. Toss potatoes with oil and spices. Spread out, cut side down, on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for 10 mins.
- Meanwhile, add the egg to a shallow bowl and beat with a fork. Add almond flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a separate shallow bowl and mix well. Pat your fish dry with a paper towel.
- Heat the1 tbsp olive or avocado oil + 1 tbsp ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each piece of cod into the egg to coat, then into the almond flour mixture to coat. Place into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes each side until browned.
- Take the potatoes out of the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 400. Push the potatoes aside on the pan, making room in the middle for the fish filets. Add the fish to the pan, then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the fish flakes when cut and the potatoes are cooked through and crispy.
Tartar Sauce
- Combine all tartar sauce ingredients and mix well. Can be made 1-2 days ahead of time and will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Top the fish with the tartar sauce. The potatoes are great with the sauce, too! Enjoy!
Amazing! My husband was SO impressed – his first bite was followed by an immediate “yum” and “you can make this weekly!”. Fish was so flakey and we loved the “breading”. Sauce was great too! This is now a new staple in my kitchen. Thank you, was delish!!
I’m so glad you loved it!! Thanks so much for letting me know 🙂
How can I substitute cod with tilapia? I cook tilapia fillets for just 7 minutes in the oven (no coating), and I think 6 minutes in a skillet and then an additional 15-20 minutes in the oven would be way too much. I suppose I can just cook it in the skillet only, so the coating gets that nice brown color, and skip the oven part altogether?
I would do the skillet as directed, then oven for 2-3 minutes to finish!
I made this recipe tonight with tilapia. It was delicious. The tartar sauce was amazing! I made my own whole30 Mayo to use with the recipe. Thank you! I’m hoping to try the Pumpkin Turkey Chili soon.
Seriously Delicious!!!! One of my favorite recipes from Mary.
Amazing! This started our Whole30 off with a bang – it was so flavorful and tasty. My non fish loving family loved it and wanted seconds. Can’t wait to make it again!
I’m SO glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you!
This has been one of my favorite almond crusted dishes yet. It was perfect finished in the oven and we loved the simple tartar sauce. Thank you!
Thanks, Lindsay! So glad you loved it 🙂
Has the fish ever been made in the air fryer? If so, can you post directions for it, please?
Hi Becky, I have not tried making this in the air fryer yet. I will update it once I try. Thanks!
This was SO good! Very satisfying and simple to make. I loved that it didn’t have a ton of ingredients. My 16mo daughter loved it too!
Thanks Krista! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Loved this! Made it with thawed flounder fliets and it was so good! Definitely will be added to the rotation.
Hi Jake! Thanks so much – glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Mary! I believe in the fish direction section you wrote parsley instead of onion powder. I got so confused. Lol And what is ghee used for in ingredients?
Sorry Sheryl! I will fix that now 🙂 The ghee is for frying the fish!
I’m on Week One of my Whole30 and was craving fish, this was the perfect recipe, the flavor is fantastic!
Woo hoo! Thank you Katie! Glad you enjoyed it!
Delicious! Flavorful and easy recipe that looks and tastes like it was much more complicated. Obvious addition to our weekly rotation.
Thank you Sarah! So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
I’ve made this recipe several times and it’s so delicious! I even make the potatoes with other meals because they are so good! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Thanks Brandi! Glad to hear it!
So easy and delicious!
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Delicious recipe! My husband finished his plate, looked up at me and said, “that was GOOD!” My four and six year old gobbled it up too. Mary, you never disappoint! I can’t wait to get your book later this year.
SO DELICIOUS and FOOL PROOF! I’ve made the fish and chips as well as the tartar sauce a few times now, so I guess that in itself is an indicator of how much I LOVE this recipe!! A must try, you won’t be disappointed!
This recipe has been on my list for a while and finally made it last night. My husband (who always coats his white fish in ketchup….) said it was so good he didn’t even need additional toppings! He’s not a huge fish fan, so this is a huge compliment. Unfortunately, my 2-year old was being a toddler and didn’t want to try the fish but asked for more potatoes 3 times! We also used gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of almond flour and it turned out great!
So glad you all enjoyed it!
Hi there! just wondering if almond meal will work instead of almond flour?
Cant wait to try this!
