Fish & Chips Recipe

Fish & Chips Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

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

2. 2

   Make the Beer Batter

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the beer to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises, it's ready.

4. 4

   Fry the Potatoes

   Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Working in batches, carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while hot.

5. 5

   Fry the Fish

   Dip each fish fillet into the beer batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the fish and chips hot, with lemon wedges and house-made tartar sauce on the side.
