Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Fish and Chips? First of all, prepare the batter, as it will need to be put in the refrigerator for a while. Take a bowl or any other deep container and sift the wheat flour into it through a sieve. Add soda and salt to the flour. Mix the ingredients.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour chilled dark beer into the dry mixture, constantly stirring it with a whisk so that there are no lumps left in the batter. Then cover the bowl with the prepared batter with cling film or a lid and place the container in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
The next step is to prepare the potatoes. Wash it well, peel it and cut it into long strips. This can be done with a knife, but it will be more beautiful if you use special equipment, for example, I used a potato cutter. It is also possible to use a “slicer” with a replaceable attachment for cutting into long bars. Be sure to dry the cut potatoes — excess moisture will prevent them from becoming crispy.

Step 4

Step 4
Fry the potatoes either in a deep fryer, if you have one, or in a regular saucepan. Pour oil into it and put it on fire. When the oil is hot, place the potatoes in the pan and fry them until golden brown. Remove the cooked potatoes using a slotted spoon to drain off any excess oil. Place it on a baking sheet, add salt and place in the oven for 5 minutes. Cook at 130°C.

Step 5

Step 5
Itʼs the fishʼs turn. For this dish, use white fish fillets — cod, haddock or tilapia are suitable. I had pollock. Wash the fillet and cut into portions.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour flour into a small container. Now roll the pieces of fish fillet in flour, then put them in batter so that it completely covers the pieces of fish.

Step 7

Step 7
Then fry the pollock pieces in boiling oil. You can fry them immediately after the potatoes. Place the fried pieces on paper napkins to remove excess oil.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the finished fish and potatoes on one dish together and serve immediately. This dish must be served hot, as the batter will become limp and no longer crisp, and the potatoes will become limp. Bon appetit!
