Ingredients:
For the Fish:
• 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or pollock)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
• 1 cup cold beer (or sparkling water)
• Oil for frying
• Lemon wedges (for serving)
• Malt vinegar (for serving)
For the Chips (Fries):
• 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thick fries
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Tartar sauce (for serving)
Instructions:
For the Chips:
• Prepare the fries: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Soak potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes to remove starch. Drain and pat dry.
• Bake the fries: Toss fries with olive oil and spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Season with salt.
For the Fish:
• Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold beer or sparkling water until smooth.
• Heat the oil: Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep frying pan or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
• Fry the fish: Pat fish dry, dust lightly with flour, then dip into the batter. Fry in hot oil for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
