Fish

Method

Preparation of Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps make them crispier when fried.

Rémoulade Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Rémoulade

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped scallions, chopped dill, chopped chives, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and set aside in the refrigerator.

Fish Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until smooth.

  2. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 6

    Batter and Fry the Fish

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Gently place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Cook the Fries

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry. Fry them in the hot oil until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Immediately season with salt and drizzle with white vinegar.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Plate the crispy fish alongside the fries. Serve with the charred scallion rémoulade on the side for dipping.
