Method
Preparing the Chips
- 1
Cutting the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices (about 1/2 inch thick) to create chips.
- 2
Soaking 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.
- 3
Drying the Chips
After soaking, drain the water and lay the chips on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry with another towel.

Frying the Chips
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chips in batches for about 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately.
Preparing the Fish

Making the Batter
In a mixing 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 slightly thick.

Coating the Fish
Dredge each fish fillet in the leftover flour, shaking off excess. Dip the fillets into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Frying the Fish
