4 x 200g ocean trout fillets, skin removed
3/4 cup couscous
3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tbsp finely grated lemon rind
1 1/2 tbsp finely grated lime rind
sea salt & cracked black pepper
flour, for dusting
2 eggs, lightly beaten

chips
8 large kipfler potatoes, washed
vegetable oil, for frying
sea salt

Cut each trout fillet into 4 pieces lengthwise. Set aside.
Place couscous in a bowl & pour over the boiling water.
Cover & set aside for 5 minutes, then use a fork to separate the grains.
Add paprika, lemon & lime rinds, salt & pepper.
Spread couscous over a baking tray.
Dust fish fingers in flour, dip in egg & toss in couscous.
Place on a tray in the fridge for 10 minutes.
To make chips, use a vegetable peeler to peel potatoes into thin strips & lay between sheets of absorbant paper (like kitchen paper).
Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.
Cook chips in batches for 4 minutes until golden and crisp.
Sprinkle with salt, set aside & keep warm.
Fry fish fingers in batches for 3-4 minutes or until crisp & golden.
Serve with chips & tartar sauce, if you wish. Yummm!
