Halibut

Coleslaw

Method

Halibut

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Halibut

    Dip each halibut fillet in the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Chips

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips. Rinse in cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 5

    Fry the Chips

    In a separate pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt to taste.

Coleslaw

  1. 6

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Finely shred the green cabbage and grate the carrots. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 7

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 8

    Combine the Coleslaw

    Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss well to combine and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
