Fish

Coleslaw

Method

Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the house beer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

  3. 3

    Batter and Fry the Cod

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

French Fries

  1. 4

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 5

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain and pat the potatoes dry. In the same pot or fryer used for the fish, fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Coleslaw

  1. 7

    Mix the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage and carrots.

  2. 8

    Make the Dressing

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

  3. 9

    Combine and Chill

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, tossing to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Chipotle Tartar Sauce

  1. 10

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lemon juice, and chopped dill pickles.

  2. 11

    Season to Taste

    Add salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as desired. Serve chilled.
