Fish

Fries

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into long strips to form fries.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Fries

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

Preparing the Tartar Sauce

  1. 3

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickles, lemon juice, capers, and dill. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

Preparing the Fish

  1. 4

    Making the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth.

  2. 5

    Frying the Fish

    Heat vegetable oil in a separate pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip the cod fillets into the batter, allowing any 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.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plating the Dish

    Serve the crispy fish alongside the fries and a generous dollop of tartar sauce.
