Fish & Chips Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in cold water until the batter is smooth and thick.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) again. Dip each rockfish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

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