Fish

Method

Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.

  2. 2

    Coat the Fish

    Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Fish

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Carefully add the battered fish fillets to the oil, frying them in batches if necessary. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fish and drain on paper towels.

Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into fries (about 1/4 inch thick). Rinse the fries in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fries in batches and fry for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Tartar Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Mix well and season with salt to taste. Set aside until ready to serve.
