Haddock fish and chips is a classic British dish that can be found at many restaurants and pubs. While it is a simple dish, it is made with fresh haddock and a light batter that is fried until crispy. If you're looking to recreate this classic dish at home, there are a few tips to keep in mind. First, make sure you use fresh haddock. Frozen haddock can be used, but it won't have the same flavor as fresh fish. Second, use a light batter that won't overpower the delicate flavor of the haddock. Third, fry the fish in hot oil until it is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. Finally, serve the fish and chips with tartar sauce and a side of mushy peas.

Steps:
- 2 pounds haddock fillets, skinned and cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch wide strips, 5 to 6 inches long
- Heat the oil in a large deep, pot over medium heat. Bring the oil to 325 degrees F. Regulate the temperature with a candy thermometer. Keep the potato sticks in a bowl of water to prevent browning before frying. Remove to paper towels and dry well before placing in oil. Working in batches, fry the potatoes until they are cooked through and tender but have no color, about 4 to 5 minutes. Be sure the fries have plenty of room and gently swish them around as they are cooking. Remove them from the oil and put them immediately on a paper towel lined baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and raise the temperature of the cooking oil to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, seafood seasoning, baking soda and pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gently stir in the cold beer. Mix until just combined. When the oil is preheated to the correct temperature, dip the fish fillets in the batter mixture. Coat the fish generously. When adding the fish to the oil, dip about 1/3 to 1/2 of the fillet into the oil and allow the batter to start puffing and then gently slide it into the oil. Fry the fish until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes turning the fish over during the cooking time. When the fish are done, remove from the oil and put immediately on paper towels to blot the excess oil. Arrange the fish on a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack. Hold the fish in the preheated oven until serving. Work in batches and be sure not to crowd the oil.
- Again, working in batches, fry the fries a second time at 375 degrees F, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil, immediately put them on paper towels and toss with kosher salt. Transfer the fish to a serving platter and serve with the fries.

FISH AND CHIPS
Steps:
- Heat 3 inches of the oil in a deep fryer to 325 degrees F. Alternatively, use a deep heavy skillet.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into chips (that is, fries) about the size of your index finger. Put the potatoes in a fryer basket and lower into the oil. Fry the chips for 2 to 3 minutes; they should not be crisp or fully cooked at this point. Remove the chips to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.
- Crank the oil temperature up to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Combine soda water and egg and pour into the flour mixture. Whisk to a smooth batter. Spread the rice flour on a plate. Dredge the fish pieces in the rice flour and then dip them into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
- Put the chips in the bottom of the fryer basket and carefully submerge in the hot oil. Carefully lower the battered fish into the bubbling oil on top of the chips. Fry the fish and chips for 4 to 5 minutes until crispy and brown. Remove the basket and drain the fish and chips on paper towels; season lightly with salt. Serve wrapped in a newspaper cone with malt vinegar and/or tartar sauce.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh haddock fillets. Frozen fillets can be used, but they should be thawed completely before cooking.
- To make sure the fish is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow-fry the fish in a large skillet with a few inches of oil.
- To make the batter, use cold beer or club soda. This will help to make the batter light and crispy.
- Be sure to season the batter with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- To make the chips, use russet potatoes. These potatoes have a high starch content, which makes them ideal for frying.
- Cut the potatoes into thick wedges. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Be sure to soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to remove excess starch and make the chips crispy.
- To make the tartar sauce, use mayonnaise, sour cream, dill pickles, and lemon juice. You can also add other ingredients, such as capers or chopped onion.
- Serve the fish and chips with malt vinegar and lemon wedges.
