Method

Preparing the Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    In a bowl, season the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold beer until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

Preparing the Chips

  1. 3

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the large potatoes into thick strips, about 1/2 inch wide to resemble chips.

  2. 4

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

  3. 7

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each marinated fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the fish and chips hot, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
