Method

Preparing the Halibut

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer (or sparkling water) until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fish

    Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with a little salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and floats to the top, it's ready.

  4. 4

    Fry the Halibut

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

Preparing the Chips

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick slices or wedges, about 1/2 inch thick. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 6

    Fry the Chips

    In a separate large deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato slices in batches (do not overcrowd) and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, sprinkling with salt while still hot.
