Cod Fish & Chips Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Begin by cutting potatoes into thick strips to create house-cut fries. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry.

2. 2

   Fry the Potatoes

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

3. 3

   Make the Beer Batter

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

4. 4

   Prepare the Cod

   Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the beer batter, ensuring they are well-coated.

5. 5

   Fry the Cod

   In the same hot oil used for the fries, carefully add the battered cod fillets. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Grill the Lemon

   While the cod is frying, cut the lemon in half and grill it cut-side down on a hot grill or grill pan for about 2-3 minutes until charred.

7. 7

   Serve

   Plate the crispy cod fillets alongside the house-cut fries. Serve with tartar sauce and grilled lemon wedges.
