"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
This one goes out to COVID-19. If it was not for you, I never would have come up with this recipe in desperation of not leaving the house to go to the grocery store for proper ingredients.

Seriously though, while in lockdown, we made it a habit to go to the store once every 4 weeks. This means we were leaning on a lot of non-perishables and frozen foods. We would buy the tilapia from Aldi and would make this at least once a week. Now, I was never that big of a fan of tilapia, let alone frozen fish. So the first time I went to cook them, I decided to fry them. One problem though, we had no bread crumbs. What we did have was 2 bags of potato chips that we were not eating. So I figured, what the heck, let's make "fish and chips" a very literal dish.

** Side note, we have tried this with regular potato chips, salt and vinegar chips, nacho cheese Doritos, and the sweet chili Doritos (our favorite)
