Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Wash and cut the potatoes into fry shapes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

  3. 3

    Make the Beer Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the cold beer until the batter is smooth.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, mix the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, and lemon juice. Toss until well combined and set aside.

  5. 5

    Fry the Halibut

    Heat additional oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Dip each halibut fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crispy halibut with the brewpub fries, creamy coleslaw, housemade tartar sauce, and a side of malt vinegar.
