Method
Lunch & Dinner
- 1
Preparing the Potatoes
Begin by making the chips (fries).
- 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips, about 1 inch wide.
- 3
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 4
Making the Batter
While the potatoes are soaking, prepare the batter for the fish.
- 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- 6
Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick, then let it rest for about 15 minutes.
- 7
Frying the Chips
Once the potatoes have soaked, it's time to fry them.
- 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 9
Carefully add the soaked potato strips in batches, frying them for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
- 10
Remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. Keep them warm in an oven while frying the fish.
- 11
Frying the Fish
Now, let's fry the cod fillets.
- 12
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.
- 13
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying for about 4-5 minutes or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through.
- 14
Remove the fried fish and drain on paper towels.
- 15
Serving
Serve the fish and chips hot.

Plate the fish alongside the chips, and serve with tartar sauce and malt vinegar on the side for dipping.
