Method
Preparation of Fish
- 1
Prepare the Fish Batter
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold beer (or sparkling water) until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Set aside.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Coat the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 4
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Preparation of Chips
- 5
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick fries (about 1/2 inch wide).
- 6
Soak the Fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
