Fall is here and it’s come on quite suddenly this year. Instead of the warm summer/fall transition we’ve been used to, this year it’s cold! With this sudden cold weather, we’re craving comfort food in a big way. While at the St. Lawerence market this weekend we picked up some Talapia fillets and brought them home to make fish and chips. While occasionally we crave a greasy, deep fried meal we usually like to keep things as light and healthy as possible.  Looking at these fish and chips, you can barely tell they were done in the oven instead of a deep fryer.  When you taste them, you won’t want to ever go back!
