Fish & Chips Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick fries. Rinse them in cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F). Drain and pat the potatoes dry, then fry them in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

  3. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

  4. 4

    Fry the Grouper Cheeks

    Dip the grouper cheeks into the batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, toasted mustard seeds, and shredded cabbage. Mix well and season with salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the fried grouper cheeks and French fries alongside the creamy slaw and a serving of spicy remoulade sauce.
