Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 gallon safflower oil
4 large Russet potatoes
Kosher salt
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Dash Old Bay Seasoning
1 bottle brown beer, cold
1 1/2 pounds firm-fleshed whitefish (tilapia, pollock, cod), cut into 1-ounce strips
Cornstarch, for dredging

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Heat the safflower oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat until it reaches 320 degrees.
  • Using a V-slicer with a wide blade, slice the potatoes with the skin on. Place in a large bowl with cold water.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and Old Bay seasoning. Whisk in the beer until the batter is completely smooth and free of any lumps. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Note: The batter can be made up to 1 hour ahead of time.
  • Drain potatoes thoroughly, removing any excess water. When oil reaches 320 degrees, submerge the potatoes in the oil. Working in small batches, fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are pale and floppy. Remove from oil, drain, and cool to room temperature.
  • Increase the temperature of the oil to 375 degrees. Re-immerse fries and cook until crisp and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain on roasting rack. Season with kosher salt while hot and hold in the oven.
  • Allow oil to return to 350 degrees. Lightly dredge fish strips in cornstarch. Working in small batches, dip the fish into batter and immerse into hot oil. When the batter is set, turn the pieces of fish over and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain the fish on the roasting rack. Serve with malt vinegar.

Time 17m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb white fish fillet (cod or halibut)
1 cup beer (not dark)
1 cup flour, and a little more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all batter ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Cut the fillets into desired sized pieces.
  • Dust fillets with flour.
  • Dip the fillets in the batter.
  • Fry fillets in deep fryer at 375 degrees with at least 2 inches of vegetable oil until golden brown. Don't crowd the fillets while frying.
  • Drain fillets on paper towels or brown paper bags from the grocery store.
  • Serve with french fries, tarter sauce, cocktail sauce, malt vinegar and cole slaw or cucumber salad (see Zaar recipe 211355).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality fish. The fresher the fish, the better your fish and chips will taste. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Choose the right type of fish. Not all fish are created equal for fish and chips. Some of the best options include cod, haddock, pollock, and flounder. These fish have a mild flavor and a flaky texture that holds up well to frying.
  • Make sure your fish is properly coated. The batter should be thick enough to coat the fish evenly, but not so thick that it's stodgy. The breadcrumbs should be fine and evenly distributed.
  • Fry the fish in hot oil. The ideal temperature for frying fish is between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the fish will cook too quickly and the batter will burn. If the oil is too cool, the fish will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When frying fish, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the fish and chips immediately. Fish and chips are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the fish is hot and crispy and the chips are fluffy.

Fish and chips is a classic British dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world.
