Fish & Chips Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and grated carrot. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, toss well, and set aside to chill.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chips

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips (chips). Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato chips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in ice-cold water until smooth.

  5. 5

    Fry the Haddock

    Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the fried haddock alongside the chips and a serving of coleslaw. Enjoy your homemade Fish & Chips!
