Method

For the Beer Battered Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually pour in the beer while whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

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

For the Salt & Vinegar Fries

  1. 4

    Prep the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick fries.

  2. 5

    Soak the Fries

    In a bowl, soak the cut fries in cold water with the white vinegar for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 6

    Fry the Fries

    Drain the fries and pat them dry. In another deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels while sprinkling with salt.

For the Malt Aioli

  1. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, malt vinegar, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.

For the Sriracha Ketchup

  1. 8

    Combine Ketchup and Sriracha

    In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup and sriracha sauce until well combined.
