For the Fish

Method

For the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large deep skillet or heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Batter and Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter to coat evenly. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For the Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips for fries. Soak in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a separate deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat.

  3. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the potato strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes until they are crispy and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while still hot.

For the Tartar Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickles, capers, lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
