Frying

Fry the chips
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 325°F (163°C). Fry the potato strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the fish
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Double fry the chips
Once the fish is done, return the chips to the hot oil and fry again for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
