Fish

Fries

Method

Preparation of Coleslaw

  1. 1

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.

Preparation of Tartar Sauce

  1. 2

    Make the Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, lemon juice, capers, and salt. Adjust seasoning as needed and refrigerate.

Preparation of Fries

  1. 3

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Preparation of Fish

  1. 4

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, beer, baking powder, salt, and pepper to create a batter. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Dip the haddock fillets in the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Fry in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, serve the beer-battered haddock alongside the fries and coleslaw. Drizzle the tartar sauce over the fish or serve on the side.
