Method
Preparing the Fish
- 1
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water while stirring to create a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the fish.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 3
Coat the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 4
Fry the Fish
Carefully lower the batter-coated fish fillets 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
- 5
Cut the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thick fries. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- 6
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 7
Heat the Oil
In another large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 8
Fry the Chips
Drain and pat dry the soaked potatoes. Carefully add them to the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt to taste.
