Battered Fish

Fries

Tartar Sauce

Method

Battered Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, mixing until you have a smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, making sure it's evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips to make fries.

  2. 6

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 8

    Fry the Fries

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. Fry the fries in batches for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 9

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well mixed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
