So now that I know this product is available to those of us in the US, I can finally share my dad’s recipe for fish and chips! Until I discovered a very similar product on Amazon of all places! Paxo golden breadcrumbs, and it was much more reasonable than paying the outrageous shipping of the Ruskoline from the UK. His wife, Helen, looked into the cost of shipping and it was outrageous, but I was actually thinking about having her send it anyway. We just call it fish dressing, and recently I had called my cousin Pete, who ran the fish and chip shop until just four years ago, to ask about sending over some of this dressing. I’m sure you’ve noticed the fish isn’t battered (it actually is battered), but coated in a crispy, orange-colored crumb coating which is called “Ruskoline”. He was her favorite nephew in this picture, can you tell! Sorry for this long-winded post, but I don’t just want to publish a recipe without you knowing how precious it is to me, and my family. Here’s my mother with my cousin, Pete, in the back shop. One shop was sold and my cousins ran the remaining one until 2017. This photo was the last time my dad saw him (2017). Sadly, Uncle Fred passed away last April (2020).

It was established in 1928 by his grandfather who came from Italy, who then passed it onto his son, my grandfather. Growing up in Scotland, my dad had a fish and chip shop in Glasgow.
