Method

Preparing the Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Rinse them in cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, mix the shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well. Refrigerate until serving.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tartar Sauce

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, lemon juice, capers, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until needed.

Cooking the Halibut and Fries

  1. 4

    Make the Beer Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually stir in the beer until smooth.

  2. 5

    Cook the Fries

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  3. 6

    Fry the Halibut

    Dip the halibut fillets into the beer batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish
