Instructions for Preparing Fish and Chips
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

Make the Batter
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until smooth.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Fry the prepared potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish in the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Serve the crispy fish with the fries on a plate. Drizzle with malt vinegar and serve with tartar sauce on the side.
