Fish and Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the dip

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Stir until well combined and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips for fries. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Make the batter

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

  4. 4

    Fry the chips

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Fry the fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the fish and chips together, and serve with the ginger garlic cilantro dip on the side.
