1
Make the Batter
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
2
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Batter the Fish
Dip the piece of fish into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated.
4
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5
Cut the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips (about 1/2 inch wide).
6
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
7
Fry the Chips
In a separate pot, heat the oil for frying. Drain and pat the potatoes dry before frying them in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt to taste.
