Fries

Tartar Sauce

Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fish

    Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.

Fries Preparation

  1. 3

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thick fries, about 1/4 inch wide.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Frying the Fish

  1. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Using the same oil for frying the fries, heat it to 350°F (175°C) again if necessary. Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil and fry for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Tartar Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the crispy fish alongside the hot fries. Add a generous dollop of tartar sauce for dipping.
