Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the beer to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter the Cod

    Dip each cod strip into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cod

    Carefully add the battered cod strips to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain and pat the potato strips dry. Fry them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Coleslaw Preparation

  1. 8

    Shred the Vegetables

    Finely shred the green cabbage and carrot.

  2. 9

    Make the Dressing

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 10

    Combine and Chill

    Toss the shredded cabbage and carrot with the dressing. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tartar Sauce Preparation

  1. 11

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, relish, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well combined.

  2. 12

    Season

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
