Fish

Chips

Tartar Sauce

Method

Preparing the Chips

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips (about 1/2 inch wide).

  2. 2

    Soak the Chips

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Chips

    Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil for Frying

    In a large pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 325°F (160°C).

  5. 5

    First Frying

    Carefully add the chips in batches to the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes, until they are soft but not browned. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.

Preparing the Fish

  1. 6

    Make the Batter

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

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil for Frying

    In another pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 8

    Batter the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  4. 9

    Fry the Fish

    Gently place the battered fish in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain.

Making the Tartar Sauce

  1. 10

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, fresh dill, and salt. Mix well.

Final Frying of Chips

  1. 11

    Second Frying

    Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the chips again in batches for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 12

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the fried fish alongside the chips and a generous dollop of tartar sauce.
