Step 1
Start the oven chips according to package directions (usually 400°F, 20 min). Set a timer.
Step 2
Boil the peas in salted water for 3 minutes until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
Step 3
Mash the peas with butter, salt, and pepper until creamy. Stir in malt vinegar. Set aside and keep warm.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Place fish fillets in the pan skin-side up. Pan-fry 4 minutes without moving until the bottom is golden and crispy.
Step 6
Flip the fillets and cook 2 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Plate the mushy peas, top with crispy fish, and serve with hot chips on the side.
