For Fish and Chips

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thick strips. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the cold beer or sparkling water, mixing until smooth.

  4. 4

    Fry the Fish

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the battered fish hot with freshly fried chips and a side of tartar sauce.
