Fish & Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick fries. Rinse in cold water and dry thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until the batter is smooth.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

    Heat another 2 cups of oil in the same pot. Dip the cod fillets into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare Tartar Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chopped pickles, lemon juice, and dill. Stir until well combined.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the fish and chips together and serve with tartar sauce on the side.
