Method
Preparing the Chips
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips for chips.
Fry the Chips
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.
Preparing the Fish
Make the Batter
In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until a smooth batter forms.
Fry the Fish
In another pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serving
Plate and Serve
Serve the fish alongside the chips. Add tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side for dipping.
