Fish and Chips Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into fries. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes and then drain.

  2. 2

    Make the Tartar Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped pickles, capers, and lemon juice. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrot. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Pour over the cabbage and carrot, toss to combine, and let sit.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Batter

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan. Dip each cod fillet into the batter and carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    In the same oil, add the soaked fries in batches and fry until crispy and golden, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the fried fish alongside the fries, serve with tartar sauce and coleslaw on the side.
