Beer Battered Fish & Chips Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chips

   Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Fry the Chips

   In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

3. 3

   Make the Batter

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the beer, stirring until smooth.

4. 4

   Prepare the Fish

   Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

5. 5

   Fry the Fish

   In the same oil used for the chips, carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the beer-battered fish with the chips, salad, tartare sauce, and lemon wedges on the side.
