FISH AND CHIPS



Fish and Chips image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons fine salt, plus more as needed
Two 12-ounce bottles beer, lager-style preferred
2 pounds center-cut cod fillet (scrod), trimmed and bones removed
2 pounds center-cut cod fillet (scrod), trimmed and bones removed
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Freshly ground black pepper
Malt vinegar
Tartar sauce, recipe follows
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped capers
1 tablespoon finely chopped cornichons
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 to 3 drops hot sauce
1 small scallion (white and green), minced

Steps:

  • Slice the potatoes about 1/16 of an inch thin with a vegetable slicer or mandolin. Transfer to a large bowl and soak in tepid water for 30 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and the 2 teaspoons salt. Pour in the beer and whisk to form a smooth batter. Set aside.
  • Pat the fish very dry. Cut the fish lengthwise into 1 by 3-inch strips.
  • Pour enough oil into a tall heavy-bottomed pot so it comes about a third of the way up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 360 degrees F. While the oil heats, drain and spin the potatoes dry in a salad spinner. Spread them out on a pan and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Working in small batches, fry the potatoes until golden brown, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined pan to drain. Season with fine salt to taste. (Make sure to let the oil come back to 360 degrees before frying each batch.) Transfer the potatoes to the oven to keep warm.
  • Season the fish with the salt and pepper. Working in batches, dip the fish strips in the batter to coat evenly. Carefully add to the oil. Fry the fish, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined pan to drain. Keep the fish warm on a heatproof platter in the oven while you fry the remaining fish. (Just like with the potatoes, make sure the oil returns to temperature before adding more fish.)
  • Serve the fish with the chips and malt vinegar and/or tartar sauce.
  • In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, cornichons, parsley, lemon juice, tarragon, lemon zest, hot sauce, and scallion. Refrigerate for 30 minutes for the flavors to come together. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Maris Pipers for fluffy chips. Avoid waxy varieties like Red Potatoes or New Potatoes, as they won't crisp up well.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: For uniform cooking, cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges or strips. This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Soak the potatoes: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before frying removes excess starch, resulting in crispier chips. Be sure to pat them dry thoroughly before frying to prevent splattering.
  • Use a good quality oil: Choose an oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and can burn easily.
  • Fry the fish and chips separately: This prevents the fish from overcooking while the chips are cooking. Fry the fish first, then remove it from the oil and keep it warm while you fry the chips.
  • Season the fish and chips well: Use a simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and paprika for the fish and chips. You can also add other herbs and spices to your taste.

Conclusion:
