Method

Battered Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cold beer. Whisk until smooth and let rest for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter and Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fries

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips.

  2. 5

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

  3. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the potato strips in the hot oil until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix the Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Stir until well mixed.
