Method

Preparation of Chips

  1. 1

    Cut and Soak the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the large potatoes into thick strips, about 1/2 inch wide. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water and soak them for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Drain the soaked potatoes and dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 6-8 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt while still hot.

Preparation of Fish

  1. 3

    Season the Haddock

    Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in cold water and beer (if using) until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  3. 5

    Fry the Haddock

    Heat a separate pan with oil (or use the same oil used for chips if needed). Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, then carefully place into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparation of Salad (Optional)

  1. 6

    Prepare the Garden Salad

    In a bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Toss with your favorite dressing.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Greek Salad

    In a bowl, toss together mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, and olives. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.

  3. 8

    Prepare the Caesar Salad

    In a bowl, combine romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing and toss well. Add croutons on top before serving.
