Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick fries. Rinse them in cold water and pat them dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water until the batter is smooth.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy fish with the fries and tartar sauce on the side.
