Method
Preparing the Haddock
- 1
Prepare 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 free of lumps.
- 2
Heat the oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Coat the haddock
Dip each haddock fillet into the prepared batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- 4
Fry the haddock
Carefully place the battered haddock fillets into the hot oil, frying them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
Preparing the Chips
- 5
Cut the potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick strips (about 1/2 inch wide).
- 6
Soak the potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 7
Heat the oil for frying
In another pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 325°F (160°C).
- 8
Fry the chips
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry the potato strips in batches for about 4-5 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- 9
Double fry the chips
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the pre-cooked chips again in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt to taste.
Serving the Dish
- 10
Plate the dish
Serve the hot haddock alongside the crispy chips. Add a cup of tartar sauce and some lemon wedges on the side for drizzling over the fish.
