Method

Fish Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter the Cod

    Dip each cod fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Carefully place the battered cod fillets in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips to create fries.

  2. 6

    Fry the Fries

    In another pot or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt to taste.

Tartar Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, finely chopped pickles, lemon juice, capers, and fresh dill. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

  2. 8

    Chill the Sauce

    Refrigerate the tartar sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
