Vegan "Fish" and Chips | Gluten Free
Say hello to vegan comfort food! This is my first “unhealthy” recipe I have ever shared on here and I am all about it. I eat so clean on the daily that sometimes I deserve a lil greasy action! This recipe does take a little time so make sure you have some a couple hours in your day to have enough time to get everything done. I made sure to keep this recipe gluten free and no canola oil at all! I simply made everything with avocado oil making it the best option for a fried meal. I hope you all enjoy this delicious vegan treat!

Assembly:
Option to give the meal like this or make some sides! I made some vegan coleslaw but adding coleslaw mix, 1/4 cup vegan avocado oil mayo, 1 tbsp malt vinegar, and 1 tsp celery seeds into bowl. Make some tarter sauce by combing vegan mayo, lemon juice, old bay, and relish. Serve yourself up a large plate and finish with some fresh dill and chives.
I hope you all enjoy!
