Ingredients for Fish and Chips

Method

Instructions for Preparing Fish and Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tartar Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, and dill. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Place them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Fry the Fish

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the crispy fries and battered fish, and serve with the tartar sauce on the side.
