Fish and Fries

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Coat and Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fillets into the hot oil, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Cook the Fries

    While the fish is frying, prepare the frozen fries according to package instructions, usually baking or frying until golden and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the fried fish fillets alongside the crispy fries. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve hot.
