oven crispy fish 'n chips

baked not fried
let's be honest... crispy, greasy, deep-fried food tastes good.
but unfortunately, fried foods are not our friends.. here are just a couple unappetizing reasons why:
high cholesterol
cancer
obesity
heart disease aka the #1 leading cause of death in america
