Method
Preparing the Fish
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to cover the fish completely.
- 3
Coat the Fish
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess batter.
- 4
Fry the Fish
Carefully place the battered fish fillets into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fish and drain it on paper towels.
Preparing the Chips
- 5
Cut the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick chips, about 1/2 inch wide.
- 6
Soak the Chips
Place the cut chips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
- 7
Fry the Chips
After soaking, drain the chips and pat them dry with paper towels. In the same oil used for the fish, fry the chips in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 8
Final Fry
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the chips again in batches for another 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
Serving
- 9
Plating
Serve the hot fish and chips on a plate. Add malt vinegar and tartar sauce on the side, along with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.
