Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Canola oil, for frying
12 ounces potatoes, cut into chips (twice as thick as fries)
12 ounces all-purpose flour, plus more for dredging
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup distilled vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Six 6-ounce fillets cod, haddock or hake (less than 1-inch thick)
Malt vinegar, for serving
Tartar sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a countertop deep-fryer to 250 degrees F.
  • Rinse the potatoes in cold water and pat each chip with paper towels until absolutely dry. Poach the chips in the oil until cooked but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Scoop up the chips, shake off the excess oil and set aside. Turn up the heat on the fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, vinegar and 3 heaping tablespoons salt until pasty. Add 2 cups water and whisk until there are no lumps. Refrigerate the batter for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Fill a second bowl with flour and season with salt. Sprinkle the fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour, making sure each fillet is completely covered.
  • Working in batches, shake off the excess flour from the fillets and dip them into the cooled batter. Let excess batter drip back into the bowl before gently lowering the fillets into the fryer. Fry until the batter is golden brown and the fish is just cooked through but still tender and juicy, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to keep warm.
  • When all the fillets are cooked, crisp the chips in the fryer until golden brown. Carefully shake off the excess oil and season immediately with salt.
  • Serve the fish and chips with malt vinegar and tartar sauce on the side.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fish and chips turned out really greasy. Maybe I used too much oil.

The fish was a bit overcooked, but the batter was nice and crispy. I would recommend cooking the fish for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too greasy for my taste. The fish was good, but the batter was a bit heavy.
