Method
Preparing the Fish
- 1
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold beer until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large heavy pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature for frying.
- 3
Coat the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 4
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Preparing the Chips
- 5
Cut the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick chips, about 1 inch wide.

Soak the Chips
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them to become crispy.
