Fish and potatoes in sauce is a home-style dish of fish and potato pieces cooked together in a sauce, often tomato-based and made with some oil. It is not tied to one fixed recipe: the fish and seasonings can vary with local cooking traditions and what is available.
The potatoes soften and take on the sauce, while the fish becomes tender and flaky. Serve it hot as a main meal, perhaps with bread to mop up the sauce or a simple salad alongside. It provides protein from the fish as well as filling carbohydrates from the potatoes; a 100 g portion has 9.5 g of protein. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of oil and add extra vegetables or salad.
