Method

For the Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Batter the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

For the Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick fries. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a separate pot or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Add the cut potatoes in batches and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt to taste.

For the Tartar Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, fresh dill, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
