Fish

French Fries

Fresh Mashed Potatoes

Method

Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the Samuel Adams beer, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter and Fry the Cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

French Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare Potatoes

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

  2. 5

    Fry Potatoes

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Remove the potatoes from water, pat dry, and carefully add them to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt.

Cole Slaw

  1. 6

    Prepare Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot.

  2. 7

    Make Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.

  3. 8

    Combine and Chill

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickle, capers, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

House Chimichurri

  1. 10

    Prepare Chimichurri

    In a bowl, combine chopped parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Fresh Mashed Potatoes

  1. 11

    Cook Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 12

    Mash and Season

    Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

House Salad

  1. 13

    Prepare Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 14

    Dress Salad

    Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
