Fried Fish

Method

Fried Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Add Egg and Water

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the cold water. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  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. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a separate deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the fries to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Coleslaw

  1. 8

    Mix the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and shredded carrot. Toss to mix evenly.

  2. 9

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  3. 10

    Combine and Chill

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss until the vegetables are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
