Fish & Chips Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Rinse them in cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

2. 2

   Make the Lemon Aioli

   In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, and the juice of half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Breading

   In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

4. 4

   Coat the Fish

   Dip each pollock fillet first in the egg mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

5. 5

   Fry the Potatoes

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the soaked and dried potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with Old Bay seasoning.

6. 6

   Fry the Fish

   In the same oil, fry the breaded pollock fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the fried fish with Old Bay fries and a side of lemon aioli. Garnish with lemon wedges.
