Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips to form fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fries

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the fries and pat them dry. Fry them in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Preparing the Tartar Sauce

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

Battering and Frying the Fish

  1. 5

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually pour in the beer while whisking until smooth.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 7

    Batter the Fish

    Dredge each haddock fillet in flour, then dip it into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  4. 8

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully lower the battered fish into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the fried fish alongside the crispy fries. Add a dollop of tartar sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
