Method

Prepare the Beer Battered Cod

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually pour in the beer while whisking to create a smooth batter. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter the Cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cod

    Carefully place the battered cod fillets into the hot oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Fries

  1. 5

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips for fries.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Prepare the Coleslaw

  1. 8

    Mix the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and shredded carrot.

  2. 9

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 10

    Combine

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serve

  1. 11

    Plate the Dish
