Method

Preparing the Chips

1

Cut the Potatoes

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries, about 1/2 inch wide.

2

Soak the Potatoes

Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3

Preheat the Oil

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

4

Fry the Chips

Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fry them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Preparing the Fish

5

Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until smooth and well combined.

6

Heat the Oil

In another pot, heat a clean batch of oil to 350°F (175°C).

7

Batter the Fish

Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

8

Fry the Fish

Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

9

Plate the Dish

Serve the crispy fish alongside the chips on a plate.

10

Add Condiments

Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side, allowing guests to season to taste.
