How many calories in a plate of fish and chips?
About 1200 kcal for a typical restaurant portion.
The calories primarily come from the deep-fried batter and the high starch content of the potatoes. The cooking oil absorbed during frying significantly increases the fat content, while the fish itself provides a moderate amount of protein.
