Method

Preparing the Chips

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips (about 1/2 inch wide).

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Preparing the Halibut

  1. 6

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, mixing until smooth.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Oil

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

  3. 8

    Dip and Fry the Halibut

    Dip each halibut fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.

  4. 9

    Drain the Halibut

    Remove the fried halibut and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the hot fried halibut alongside the crispy chips. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with tartar sauce on the side.
