Fish and chips
A classic British dish of battered and deep-fried fish served with thick-cut fried potatoes.
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick chips, about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) wide. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep saucepan to 325°F (165°C). Fry the chips in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft but not colored. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) for the second frying of the chips.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, whisking to form a smooth batter.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Dip each fish fillet into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully lower into the hot oil.
- Fry the fish for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Once the fish is done, return the chips to the hot oil for their second fry. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
- Serve the fish and chips immediately, with malt vinegar and lemon wedges on the side.
