INGREDIENTS

For the Fish:
4 white fish fillets (whole or cut into 3 ounce pieces)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Batter:
⅓ cup beer (any brand you enjoy the flavor of)

⅓ cup sparkling water

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup cornstarch

2 tablespoons of flour

Salt to taste

For the Chips:
3-4 Large potatoes

Simply Pure Canola oil

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Prep your batter first by mixing flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in beer and sparkling water until you have a pancake batter consistency, and then place in fridge to chill while prepping the rest of the ingredients.

2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add in your peeled and sliced chips. Boil for 3-5 minutes, rinse with cold water, pat dry and keep covered with paper towels to keep the potatoes dry.

3. Fill your deep fryer, or heavy bottomed deep pan with Simply Pure Canola oil, and bring oil to 350ºF.

4. Fry potatoes first in batches, for about 2-4 minutes, and remove from oil just before they begin to develop color. Set aside on cooling rack while frying fish, as you will double fry the chips in traditional British fashion.

5. Pat dry fish fillets and dust with additional 2 tablespoons of flour, then dip fish in chilled batter and immediately place in fryer. Cook fish for 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Place on a drying rack and place in a warm oven.

6. Fry the chips once again in batches until they reach a golden brown. Place on a drying rack and season with salt to taste.

7. Enjoy you delicious plate of Fish and Chips, to add some green to your plate consider a side of peas for a truly traditional experience! Serve with tartar sauce and malt vinegar!
