Classic Beer Battered Fish & Chips

Serves4
Method

Steps

  1. Wash & scrub your potatoes (but do not peel). Cut your potatoes into fries, 1/4 inch thick. Place in a large bowl, and cover with cold water for 1 hour. Drain, and dry well on paper towel.
  2. Heat 3 inches canola oil in a large dutch oven to 300 degrees. Working in batches, fry for 5 minutes. Remove, and place fries on paper towel on a baking sheet to cool.
  3. In a bowl, mix together all your tartar sauce ingredients. Season with a pinch of salt & pepper, cover with cling wrap, and place in the fridge.
  4. In a large bowl, combine your flour, beer, sea salt, and cayenne, and whisk to remove any lumps.
  5. Heat the oil to 375 degrees.
  6. Dip your fish in the batter, getting it nicely coated. Fry for 6 – 7 minutes, until deep golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towel. Spring with sea salt.
  7. Working in batches, double fry your french fries for 3 – 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and mushy peas.
