Fish & Chips Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Fries
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips. Rinse under cold water, then soak in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until a smooth batter forms.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry. Fry the potato strips in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.
- 5
Fry the Fish
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil and fry for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Serve the fish and chips hot, garnished with coleslaw and accompanied by tartar sauce.
