Fish and Batter

Method

Prepare the Tartar Sauce

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped pickles, lemon juice, chopped capers, and chopped dill. Stir until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare the Fries

  1. 2

    Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  2. 3

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while hot.

Prepare the Fish

  1. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  2. 5

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil.

  3. 6

    Fry the fish in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve

  1. 7

    On a plate, serve the crispy fish alongside the fries. Add a generous dollop of tartar sauce on the side.
