Fish

Beer Batter

Tartar Sauce

French Fries

Method

Preparing the Fish

  1. 1

    Prep the Cod

    Rinse the cod fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Making the Beer Batter

  1. 2

    Combine Batter Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the beer while stirring to create a smooth batter. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and fold it into the batter until combined.

Making Tartar Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles, lemon juice, capers, and fresh dill. Mix well and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preparing French Fries

  1. 4

    Cut and Soak Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked potatoes and pat dry. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt.

Frying the Fish

  1. 6

    Heat Oil and Fry Fish

    In the same oil used for frying the fries, heat it to 350°F (175°C). Dip each seasoned cod fillet into the beer batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Hot

    Serve the crispy fish alongside hot French fries and a generous dollop of tartar sauce for dipping.
