Method
For the Fish
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth and thick. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter in; it should sizzle and float to the top.

Fry the Fish
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips (about 1/2 inch). Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

Fry the Chips
In a separate pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Remove them and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt.
