Instructions

  1. Start by making the batter; mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and beer until a few lumps remain. Let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cut potatoes into thick 1/2” chips and rinse under cold water to remove some starch.
  3.  Boil chips in salted water for 3 minutes; they should not be fully cooked. Chill in the fridge.
  4. Fry cooled chips in 180C oil for about 3 minutes until cooked through. Refrigerate again.
  5. Prepare tartare sauce by chopping ingredients and mixing. You can use store-bought mayonnaise or homemade from a previous video.
  6. Before cooking, take the fish out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before, pat it dry, season with salt and pepper.
  7. Dredge fish fillets in a flour, salt, and pepper mixture, then dip into the batter.
  8. Fry fish in 180C oil for about 6 minutes, ensuring the temperature is maintained.
  9. Remove, drain on a paper towel, and season with Maldon salt.
  10. Fry the chips again at 200C for about 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Strain and salt. Enjoy your perfectly crispy fish and chips!
